Some requests for the xml feed
- Please can you include plugin "version" in simplestats.xml. That will allow to properly link to the changelog and manual download.
- Extracting the screenshot from a zip file each time is fine for xbmc but very CPU intensive on a webserver. Is it possible to have them already extracted on the webserver? For now I have just linked to the zip file.
And for the future...
- I think eventually it would be best to have a unique ID for plugins instead of just a name. This would be faster to search and also prevent dupes.
- I dont think the site is very scalable, XML is sloooooooooow
- Wiki should have standard naming and structure. [done check here]
- How to to store extra plugin metadata such as paypal address and forum link, itunes like comments? Standard extra info XML maybe?
