Nitpicking.

The option I'm talking about it to NOT allow the user to download the plugin directly from Forge. The user should find the plugin, see the description, dependencies or whatever, decide that hey, it's good, and go to the developer site by clicking download or a similar button. In other words, one should be able to decide to make available to Forge users all the ::info + source:: or ::only a part of them:: (for example keeping docs and download in his site). This is the only way to ensure traffic and aventually donations by every user.</p> @rendez :) Yes, almost :) It’s not enough I think.

If you feel like you'd like to encourage donations for your plugin/s, just include a comment in those regards in the readme.md file. @Bounga: The team has discussed this topic in detail. We believe any person would find that using github is the easiest, quickest and cleanest way to deploy a plugin, with all the things this concept includes (readme, dependencies, url, screenshots...) so if you do not feel like using github yet, I encourage you to start already ;)</p> <p>T.

Ok, Git is growing in popularity, but subversion is much used too. I guess it can't be that hard to fetch tags (for different versions), a README.md and package.yml file.</p> I think subversion support would be cool.
