0.7.x plugin compatibility

[Scorpion]

With the transition to GitHub underway I would like to know where to
find plugins which are 0.7.x compatible

I know of the following :
http://trac.habariproject.org/habari-extras/browser/plugins
http://habariproject.org/dist/plugins/

But not all in the above seem interchangeable if I compare their
'ages' and 'dates last modified'.
I'm sure it would help ordinary users to know that there's just *one*
central repository, fully up-to-date.

The upper link should contain the most recent versions. A lot of plugins work with 0.7 when they are modified a bit (upgrade the xml, a work of less than a minute) so you should give it a try. If you don't know how to upgrade the xml I'm sure I or someone else will find the time to explain it to you.

And about the repositories... afaik the dist folder is for snapshots. So you get all released versions of Habari and a snapshot of the developer version there. So the plugins might be quite new, but not as up-to-date as the original repo you can find on Trac.

Thanks for illuminating this. I've been using Habari for almost 3
years now, so I'm quite comfortable with using plugins. It's just that
I worry about *fragmentation* of available Habari (plugin) resources,
which ultimately may lead to confusion.
I remember being told that the *trunk* versions on Trac are the ones
you'd actually want to use in conjunction with the current Habari
version. FWIW, I think it would be a good idea for the devs to create
a single unique repository so all plugin contributors & users would
now where to go. Just my 2 cents ...

As every developer may gain access to the SVN, there already is something like a central repo. The devs just have to put their stuff there. There is also a wiki page but it's outdated too because we have to rely on the devs to tell us when they made something. It's not that nobody wants it, it's that nobody is able to keep it up-to-date.

And about trunk, yes, when you are using the latest Habari version, you should use the trunk versions of your plugins.
