[wp-hackers] Plugin Management and Autoupdate System

[Charles]

BTW, is the intent for this to work for themes as well?

RDF sounds a little top-heavy.  Could each plug-in/theme just have an
associated feed pointing to the latest release (or releases, if there are
both 1.x and 2.x releases?)  Assuming a couple namespace extensions,
something like...

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<rss version="2.0" xmlns:wp="http://wordpress.org/component-feeds/">
<channel>
	<title>Updates feed for "Wash Dishes" plug-in for WordPress</title>
	<link>http://www.mysite.com/plug-in_home_page/</link>
	<description>This plug-in allows WordPress to wash
dishes.</description>
