Yes, I thought about that too - the Lazarus project has
something similar: http://lazarus-ccr.sourceforge.net/

That would at least solve the problem of protecting the
Geany code base, but it still isn't a 100% fix since it
plugin authors would still have commit access to each
other's code, and someone would still have the nasty
job of deciding which projects have enough "merit" to
be allowed into the repository.

Having a central hub for plugin development seems like
a good idea, but considering how much vaporware and
abandonware there is on sourceforge, I'm afraid this
"geanyforge" idea might be more trouble than it's worth.

Having plugin projects scattered all over the net might
actually have some advantages as well, someone who never
heard of Geany might discover it while browsing the
project list at repo.or.cz or luaforge.net or wherever.

So I would say for now the current setup of having the
list of external plugin links on the Geany homepage is
adequate, at least for me.
