Hi John, we encourage to everyone writing a plugin to publish it or link 
it on http://live.gnome.org/Gedit. Unfortunately there is no way (well, 
at least I don't have enough time to enforce that). I was also playing 
with the idea of setting up a distrubuted revision control system to 
host plugins: it's obvious that cvs (and the bureocracy required to get 
an accoount etc) would not scale for it, but a distributed system would 
allow everyone to hack on his plugin and yet keep a collection in one 
place. What do people think? In fact it doesn't need to be me: the nice 
thing is that is someone wants to go on and do it, that would be an 
awesome thing! I have plenty of stuff on my plate already...

If anywone is interested I highly recommend using bzr: all you need is a 
website to publish the repository. See http://bazaar-ng.org/tutorial.html.

That sounds like a pretty neat idea! I don't know of any such plugins 
and look forward yours :)

By the way, since gedit 2.13.3 we have an awesome Tools plugin included 
with gedit itself.

Yep, some of the plugins (tools, snippets, modelines) are included in 
gedit 2.13 which will come with FC5 and the others python plugins 
announced on this list and present in the wiki are easily added by 
simply dropping the python scripts in ~/.gnome2/gedit/plugins
