Right, but you don't need to look at the list of plugins. You'd find out about 
new plugins via blogs/mailinglists anyways. After that you don't need a 
playground, you just clone the repo and work together. And it's still hosted 
by the author.

Also, with gitorious you can follow people via rss, so you'll always know when 
they're up on something.

For example, if I started Ruby support in git, I'd create my own repository. 
Anyone interested would pull directly from me and push to my repo. I wouldn't 
need a playground for that.

Maybe push changes back to author's repository and remove it from kdevelop 
project? (dunno about privileges...)

But yeah, I can see your point. But that place for abandoned plugins wouldn't 
be a playground, that'd be a blackhole :)
