The DokuWiki plugins are now managed through it's own plugin here at www.dokuwiki.org. This repository plugin is still in a early stage and might not be optimal.
New plugins now need to have a descriptional page in the plugin namespace here in the Wiki containing a block like this at the start:
---- plugin ---- description: Just an example to prove the point author : Joe Blow email : joe@example.come type : syntax, action lastupdate : 2007-12-17 compatible : devel > 2007-10-06 depends : conflicts : sample similar : tags : example, sample ----
The info is stored in a database and used to build a dynamic repository browser (at plugins).
About the fields:
