Hi Pierre,

It looks like it provides the part I haven’t written yet. Specifically, the downloading of plug-ins and installation.

What it doesn’t seem to provide is the consistent plug-in API to link against.

I’d love to look at it a bit deeper, but the links seem to be broken.

Do you know the Capuchin project ?
http://capuchin.k-d-w.org/

It looks asleep or dead, but it shares the same goals than Ethos.

Open a ticket in the gnome rt queue and we’ll take a look at it.

That’s the thing, I’m supposed to be on there. It’s just been a matter of maintenance to add me. And that was supposed to happen *a while* ago.

Oh well, I’ll keep writing in the hopes that people find it anyway.

This really needs to get on p.g.o.

Don’t understand why they reject you, it’s awesome.

And then a unique gnome-plugin-installer for all GNOME apps that takes care of installing updating all of them?

That’d be awesome not only for users that become extenders but also for users that like to be users
