Hi, yes, I decided to step forward and try to get at least some popular colorschemes included. It won't make everybody happy, but at least a couple, popular colorschemes should be included I think.

Well, we could theoretically use this list: http://www.vim.org/scripts/script_search_results.php?keywords=&script_type=color+scheme&order_by=rating&direction=descending&search=search but I have a feeling that many users do not use vim.org anymore, but rather search github directly. Hm, perhaps this list is better: http://vimawesome.com/?q=tag:color-scheme (not sure how to sort on stars) > 2.

That would mean, we effectively fork the plugins. I do not like this idea. It's just a name. Users can test them and if they like it, they'll use it, if not, they will use a different one. Let's not overcomplicate it. In any case, I'd really appreciate, if you could include the couple ones that have been sent so far. If users ask for another one, we can later include one or two others as well.
