Some of the OSDN guys should know how to get a hold of him, if he's not 
on this listserv.

I would suggest getting the original author's consent/OK and submitting 
the project to Sourceforge. That way you can keep going with it, if you 
choose to, and others can help you out with it, if you want them to.

There's this:

http://slashcode.com/search.pl?topic=24

There used to be a plugin that was used on Slashcode to keep track of 
all the plugins. You can view it's source here:

http://cvs.slashcode.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb/unsupported/plugins/Repository/

I think it was more or less moved to the unsupported because of 
lackoftime to keep it working with current-cvs-slash (imho).

I started a plugin-manager plugin for my own use earlier this year. I 
never finished it. I can put it up in CVS if you want to try it.
