I know that vim is highly configurable editor, and in fact, I also configure vim and collect vim plugins by myself. My recommendation, which is to put a common plugin package on vim.org, is aimed at providing convenient way for newbies. Newbies will learn to configure vim by themselves after sometime, but this package would make them easier to get started.
