But since there's no central archive of plug-ins yet, and no plug-in manager capable of grabbing plug-ins from elsewhere on the 'Net and installing them for you, it would seem to make the most sense to just include the Lua plug-in with Geany (if Jeff were amenable to that).
I don't see any big problems with that, I would be happy to have the Lua plugin distributed with the current/stable/offical/release of Geany, but as far as trying to maintain the plugin from inside the Geany SVN tree, things could get a little more complicated - [snip]
Another small nit I have is with the "or any later version" clause in the Geany license - [snip]
Hm. To sidestep issues about licensing and also maintainability, *and* to keep the Geany core small, it would seem to me that Geany would benefit from having a plug-in manager that could download and install plug-ins.
