Re: [Gimp-developer] Regarding gimp.org website rewamp

[Pat David <patdavid gmail com>]

We will be looking in the future to support plugins and assets for GIMP
available through an interface within GIMP itself and it will likely be
coupled to a server/website.  Think of it similarly to Firefox
Extensions/Add-ons: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/

We haven't had a chance to really push this further at the moment, but it
is on the list for the future still, I believe.
