hello list

there was a little smalltalk about Scribus 'UNofficial' plugins yesterday 
on IRC. Question is 'how to distribute plugins?' I know there is still 
a few plugs today but maybe some day it'll changed.
I mean 'distribution' as making RPMs, DEBs etc. - not sources.
Any ideas? I see following possibilities:

1) Each plug is mantained only by author (author creates everything from
tgz package to rpm). As I think it's very HW resource consuming
(why I have to install suse, rh, debian, lesbian or whatever else aside
my gentoo?) it's fair - when you write something you have to care about it.

2) There will be one 'plugin mantainer' to breed one large package of the
plugins. It will limit end user propably - he cannot choose what he want
to install but it should be easier to distribute.

3) There will be one 'plugin mantainer' to breed various packages of the
plugins. It's friendly to the end user but IMHO mantainer will live on 
the edge of sanity.

4) Let it be as is it today and ignore. :)

cheers
