Just another idea(the last one ;-)):
Maye we can use a tracker on Sourceforge to manage plugin related
announces, bugs and so on. Similar to how pigdin it does:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=235&atid=390395
Of course, only for those plugin authors who want to use it but it
might help a bit at least.

Maybe but I guess more users will search for a certain plugin for
Geany. Both variants would be cool, we have a central place where
plugin development *can* take place and many links and references to it
widely spread in the net ;-).
(don't take this too serious please)

At least this doesn't effort any extra work ;-).
