Re: [Pyblosxom-devel] [pyblosxom-users] 3rd party plugin repo

Wari -

Thats why I ask people put contact information with the plugin. While 
there really is nothing I can do about stagnation, I feel this is a good 
solution for all the people running non-git setups or people who 
frequently break their build.

Also, there is the URL field in the plugin docstring which should be the 
git/svn/server where one can find the 3rd party plugins repos or 
download which should also help counter the issue.

Thanks!
