I’m slowly pulling the Tweets together. If I missed any, send the URLs and I’ll add them.
Thinking there's a market for trusted #WordPress pro devs to build a repo / "app store" experience for independently vetted plug-ins…—
Jake Goldman (@jakemgold) August 15, 2012
@jakemgold someone is already working on that.—
Norcross (@norcross) August 15, 2012
@norcross curious to know who. chops of said reviewers crucial to my trust of said repo. are they core dev quality?—
Jake Goldman (@jakemgold) August 15, 2012
@jakemgold nvmd, I was thinking of the WP App Store. what do you think this repo would do?—
Norcross (@norcross) August 15, 2012
@jakemgold I've been on a plugin building kick lately, in part because I can't find what I'm looking for more often than not.—
Norcross (@norcross) August 15, 2012
@norcross review & grade notable plugins, be them free or $. 10k+ official repo has lost credibility as trusted source; this is a problem—
Jake Goldman (@jakemgold) August 15, 2012
@ryancduff @Otto42 @jakemgold @norcross Same here, and my first releases were total crap. But I learned and now I know. Needs to be open.—
Erick Hitter (@ethitter) August 15, 2012
@Otto42 @ryancduff @ethitter @norcross totally agree. my 1st plugin blew. hence my sense theres incompatible mission vs what I'm picturing—
Jake Goldman (@jakemgold) August 15, 2012
@jakemgold @ethitter there's no rhyme to the featured list. It's largely what I think is cool. I'm the only one who has updated it in a year—
Samuel Wood (Otto) (@Otto42) August 15, 2012
@Otto42 @jakemgold @ethitter @norcross Didn’t we all? Just need to highlight cream of the crop. How to do and not discriminate?—
Ryan Duff (@ryancduff) August 15, 2012
@ryancduff @jakemgold @ethitter @norcross true, but we also don't want to discourage new devs. I started out by writing plugins too.—
Samuel Wood (Otto) (@Otto42) August 15, 2012
@Otto42 @ethitter maybe I'm off on the bias, but I find the "featured" list "curious" sometimes—
Jake Goldman (@jakemgold) August 15, 2012
@ryancduff @jakemgold @Otto42 @norcross Totally get that. Not suggesting totally closed, just a way to denote who's _doing_it_right().—
Erick Hitter (@ethitter) August 15, 2012
@jakemgold @ethitter @Otto42 @norcross It’s the “here’s something I created, maybe it’ll help you too” aspect. Not the best, but fosters—
Ryan Duff (@ryancduff) August 15, 2012
@jakemgold @Otto42 No Automattic bias here, I've been saying this for years. Realized it with what @ra8 had to do to get a module listed.—
Erick Hitter (@ethitter) August 15, 2012
@ethitter @Otto42 @norcross @ryancduff problem is official repo no longer trusted by those in know; probably shouldn't be by those not!—
Jake Goldman (@jakemgold) August 15, 2012
@jakemgold @ethitter not sure what bias you refer to. Only one of the usual reviewers works for Automattic.—
Samuel Wood (Otto) (@Otto42) August 15, 2012
@norcross no offense taken, it's just a big job, with few highly qualified volunteers.—
Samuel Wood (Otto) (@Otto42) August 15, 2012
@ethitter @Otto42 @jakemgold @norcross Agree on that. Unity is what I’d prefer, but .org has a stigma of sorts. Trying to be fixed.—
Ryan Duff (@ryancduff) August 15, 2012
@Otto42 @jakemgold @norcross @ryancduff Definitely requires an investment on someone's part, but I think it's a strength Drupal modules have—
Erick Hitter (@ethitter) August 15, 2012
@Otto42 trust me, I don't want to seem as though I'm accusing of anything.—
Norcross (@norcross) August 15, 2012
@Otto42 @jakemgold @norcross @ryancduff way of indicating such. Maintain one canonical, trusted source for plugins and updates.—
Erick Hitter (@ethitter) August 15, 2012
@norcross there's like 5 people doing it in their spare time. We mostly confine ourselves to security and spam for simple time reasons.—
Samuel Wood (Otto) (@Otto42) August 15, 2012
@Otto42 @jakemgold @norcross @ryancduff I'd honestly rather see a vetting/review process in the .org repo than something new, with a flag or—
Erick Hitter (@ethitter) August 15, 2012
@Otto42 and nothing indicating that it's even (a) been reviewed or (b) current—
Norcross (@norcross) August 15, 2012
@Otto42 and nothing indicating that it's even (a) been reviewed or (b) current—
Norcross (@norcross) August 15, 2012
@jakemgold @norcross @ryancduff have you considered emailing plugins@ with some reviews, or suggestions? Just a thought.—
Samuel Wood (Otto) (@Otto42) August 15, 2012
@ryancduff @otto42 @jakemgold @ethitter @norcross or a list of "community voted 'good' plugins"—
Pippinsplugins (@pippinsplugins) August 15, 2012
@pippinsplugins @ryancduff @otto42 @jakemgold @ethitter @norcross @justlikeair #wpchat like I said, expand and encourage ratings/reviews

@benlobaugh @pippinsplugins @ryancduff @otto42 @jakemgold @ethitter @norcross showing #active rather than #downloaded might be a good start—
Shane Pearlman (@justlikeair) August 15, 2012
@justlikeair @pippinsplugins @ryancduff @otto42 @jakemgold @ethitter @norcross that would be really cool. Add a ping to WP core for that
Ben Lobaugh (@benlobaugh) August 15, 2012
@jakemgold @pippinsplugins @ryancduff @Otto42 @ethitter @norcross how do we decide who is the expert?—
Ben Lobaugh (@benlobaugh) August 15, 2012
@jakemgold @pippinsplugins @Otto42 @ethitter @norcross Best of the best, cream of the crop… best calendar plugin? this one here. etc…—
Ryan Duff (@ryancduff) August 15, 2012
@ryancduff @jakemgold @otto42 @ethitter @norcross maybe not community, but "vetted by pro developers"—
