Status of the Plugin Manager

I just wanted to take a second to let everybody know the current status of the Plugin Manager. Basically, it is on hold. I know there are a number of problems that people have encountered with it, and I have plans for addressing them, but I really just do not have the time to work on it right now.

The long term plan is a complete reengineering of the system, addressing all of the problems that people have been having with it (all the 500 errors, the resource overuse problems, and so forth) including support for my secret project (which should hopefully keep the list of plugins a little more up-to-date by spreading out the work instead of making Kristine do all the work to keep the existing plugin list current).

This would be a significant time investment on my part to accomplish. And while I want to do it, I will be mostly stealing a few minutes here and there to work on it. In all honesty, any monetary (or otherwise) dontations to help defray the time-costs of all the work that needs to be done will be greatly appreciated.

Either way, I will be keeping everybody updated as progress is (slowly) being made.
