Hi Juan, actually, whomever has a plugin can create their own Google 
Code or GitHub site for it, and we can just add a link to it on our 
Apache webpage (AFAICT, we just need to create a "plugins" page which 
links to the various external plugin sites.)  At a later date, once we 
get the website issues nailed down, we can look at incorporating 
some/all of them in the Apache JSPWiki base code, once the donator 
supplies us a JIRA patch with Apache-licensed documentation.

I don't believe we want to be managing any more websites (with their 
associated SVN/issue tracker/downloads, etc.) than we absolutely have 
to.  If we're in the business of granting write access it follows we end 
up being sort of responsible for whatever somebody places there 
(copywrited code, for example), as well as the general risks of person A 
messing up person B's code.

I like this idea much more, let the donator create his own Google 
Code/GitHub site (they don't even need to put jspwiki in the name), and 
just inform us about it for us to add it to the  the Apache JSPWiki 
website's new plugins page.  (We can provide a link to the plugin and a 
1-or-2 sentence description of it.)  I don't see how its visibility can 
be decreased that way, because the page to look at to find *all* plugins 
will be the Apache JSPWiki plugins page. Those plugins might link to 20 
different URLs, it won't matter, they will still all be listed together 
on that page.  Besides, some like GitHub, some like Google Code, some 
like ???....

Even if you went with (1), you'll still potentially going to have 
several hosting their plugins on different sites because they don't want 
the others to be altering their source code while they're developing 
it.  So the plugins page on Apache.org will still be having the full 
list of all external plugins we're aware of, because only that page will 
be pointing to all the places where the plugins are hosted.

Regards,
Glen
