[Gimp-web] http://registry.gimp.org:81 - goal for 2.4?

[Guillermo Espertino]

The port issue seems to be the most critic.
The ability of uploading images would be a great addition (the current 
registry uses external links and that means an additional step to view 
examples, so having those images illustrating the plugin in the same 
page would be nicer. Maybe a template for the examples should be 
designed, in order to keep the visual style of the site consistent.
Imo, the use of compressed archive files for the uploads wouldn't be a 
problem if it is correctly stated. A rollout to select the type of 
plugin/script that you're uploading could be used for display a text 
stating the allowed format.

btw, I have a question. In what extent 2.0 and previous versions are 
still being used to justify mantaining the plugin repository support for 
them?
Maybe it's time to deprecate pre 2.2 versions and put the focus on 2.2 
and 2.4
Even if I'm wrong and there is a reasonable number of users of the 
previous versions that justify keeping those resources online, the 
version should be the hierarquically the main item to filter the results 
displayed. If I'm a 2.4 version, I want to find plugins for 2.4, not for 
previous versions, so that selection should be somewhere in the 
beginning, filtering all the results.
I personally like the approach of www.getdeb.net

Another suggestion: The visual theme of the repository should match the 
new website design (http://next.gimp.org). Everything would look more 
integrated and "professional".
