I do not know if I'm the unique one that thinks about this but I believe that there is a chaotic situation with respect to the Rails plugins. And it's something frustrating for the newbies like I.
I know that there are several plugins lists but it doesn't help much when:
* anybody creates a new branch about a plugin * the creator of a plugin only has a SVN server * or the forum to discussing about that plugin is little used
I'm supposed that would be very positive if the plugins were on a site where could be created the branches easily and were related with the original one, with access to a system of revision control, where could have discussions, etc
And this one would be a great solution https://launchpad.net/
