- Make sure your plugin is free, legal to distribute, open-source and contains a license file. No .pyo files or other binaries in our official repository !
- For ease of development for both yourself and other authors who want to submit patches (bugfixes or features), try to make a git or svn repository somewhere. Github or googlecode are good choices.
