Plugins page question.
Dear All,
I am new to elgg. Yesterday I was playing with Oxwall, and I still like the elgg, and how it feels, may be it is just the name! :) But I really find some things on this web site unacceptable. One of them is the plugins page. You go to the plugins page and you have three main categories:
1. Newest
2. Most downloads
3. Most recommended
At the end of each category you have three different links:
2. Browse most downloaded plugins
3. Browse most recommended plugins
And when you click on the each link, you get the same page with the same listing based on the "newest" plugins. It reads : Found 1718 plugins, displaying 1 to 10
Listing is from the newest to the oldest.
When I click on "browse most recomended plugins" I expect to see plugins listed based on "most recomended" criteria not the "newest".
I think for many of you this may not be a problem, but I really think that these sorts of details make a difference. Am I wrong?

'not a problem..' ;-) have you seen http://community.elgg.org/pages/view/1085821/nexgen-easy-and-safe-hacks notes there about elgg plugins, sorting, easy searching and other nice stuff ?
Srokap (vazco) in another thread (http://community.elgg.org/discussion/view/732372/we-got-company) says:
"As Evgeniy mentioned Elgg was placed after 3 other social networking solutions (http://www.cmscritic.com/peoples-choice-winner-for-best-social-networking-solution-is/)
I'd like to discuiss what's possible reasons for that and what we could possibly want to improve in Elgg to be the best again ;-)"
Maybe it is time to address these sorts of issues to make the elgg to be the best again. Another issue I noticed is the naming of plugins. Currently developers can choose their own name for a plugin, and I downloaded two different plugins with the same name. If you are novice like myself, these sorts of problems really can put you off and go search for something else. As I see currently there is no system that prevents developers giving their plugins the same name. There is no "approved" plugin. Maybe there is a wisdom in that. But listing for a plugin can improve. For example plugins for version 1.7 should not be on the same page as plugins for version 1.8. Or maybe I am talking a lot of nonsense as a newbie and please correct me.
