Good concept, this can become a marketplace to find and discover Vim plugins. You have moved one step ahead to easily install(but manage the same?)

Little feedback:

1. Add options to see what a developer just installed. I find it very interesting to see other's development environments, their workflows, history and .rc files.

2. Create a system where developers love to share their workflows, environments, history, vimrc, bashrc settings. Following and connecting with similar workflow developers would be cool.

Overall your first step is perfect!

Seconding step 2 -- vim environments, to vim-heavy developers, are a little like office spaces to me. Each has its perks; each person likes a different desk calendar; I like my door open and my coworker likes his closed.

It'd be awesome if you extended your site such that I could upload my vim configuration and plugins to share them with others -- and then discover someone who has done me one better!

So true. I'd love to try other people's recipe as a downloadable bundle.

If I could sign up and have it keep a history of downloads I made or save settings so I could go back and tweak my existing configuration that'd be wonderful.

+1, really awesome.

This is really a great creation, please allow people to submit (and vote) plugins, count my vim-seek in as soon as that is possible! I also second the parent's suggestions, making it a social experience would be amazing and a real boon to vim users everywhere.

Also allowing little functions and custom mappings that people have in their vimrc, in a more organized and social way than those vim tips websites do, would be awesome.
