Description Martin Balin 2007-08-31 12:33:09 UTC

Plugin portal has to implement at least two levels for plugins based on their rating.
1. Non active (unrated or low rated modules). When module is added into plugin portal then it is by default in this 
category. Unless it gets rating X from number of users (15) it cannot get into Active plugins area.
Non active plugins are not visible inside NetBeans Plugins manager.

2. Active plugin is visible inside Plugin manager together with rating.
When Active plugin is updated then it goes into Non active, but its number of ratings is lower (5).

This is important to be able to manage quality of plugins without deep involvement of dedicated group of people.
