@Yoann
Thanks for raising this topic.
>is TW loosing the hype ?
I don't think so. But may be there are too many possibilities.

The following may be provocative.
Just my 2 €ents,
-- TiddlyHub [1] is great. It scanns registered repos automatically.
So it is automatically up to date. And it is allmost [8] the __only__
source that covers several repos and is up to date.
It has the possibility to comment, every plugin. But nobody uses this
feature. So why does anybody think that a manually created review
system will work in the tiddly community? May be this group does the
job?
-- There is a community [2] space, which is free for everyone to join.
The only reason, why there is stuff in it, is because it includes most
of the devs spaces. There is very little from the community :(
-- There is a communitydev space. Which has the possibility to discuss
the topics before they go to the community space. To keep the noise
away from community space, there is no comment button there. It is
needed to be logged in to comment in communitydev. Does anyone think
that there will be more members joining a new community effort?
-- There is the News space [4] which is an attempt, to aggregate
public tiddlers that are tagged @news and display them in your own
homespace. To keep noise away from this space it is needed to create a
tiddler named @news and tag it "list", at any of your spaces. Learn
more at news space [5].
I think this is one of the simpliest ways to get any information
recogniced, without being a member of news space. But only Hans and I
are using it. May be I have to make the registrataion process more
complicated. May be I need to put a lot more manual admin overhead to
it. (Who wants to be the admin then)? I don't know.
-- Groupie's MoodOfTheDay [6] works the same way then news, but was
ment to be for fun stuff. If you want to test the mechanism, use
Groupie. If you have real news, use news :)
-- There is Tobi Beers ShowRoom [7] Which has a lot of invitations,
but only 3 members.
-- I am sure, there are more out there, but I can't remember now.
-- (hoster)
===========
In my opinion, every effort to keep plugin information up to date,
needs some type of automatic aggregation. Like TiddlyHub [1].
I can think about a review system using the news [5] approach, where
everyone can create reviews at there homespace, and keep them up to
date. News space only collects the links and makes them accessable. I
suggest one writes a review eg: "review.AnyPluginName" and tag it
@news _and_ @review for better sorting/filtering in the future. And if
you read [5] news space will list it. Without an action needed by
me :)
All of this is non anonymous, and I think it's good that way. A plugin
author puts his name on top of the plugin. So a user knows who made
it. According to the authors reputation, user can decide to trust/use
it or not. I think it is only fair, that the author get's some
information, who likes or doesn't like his plugin.

have fun!
