User wants to send Private message to creator of plugin

[Fab14]

I will add a "send a PM functionality" on the web site, protected by a captcha

By the way the PluginDescriptor class has an email field. If the website allow to fill it then we could have a contact email per plugin directly in the application.

If I provide it within xml, the email will not be secret anymore ! I cannot do that :) I will add the send a PM which is safe!

I have seen on android market that dev of application are publishing an email for contact. This appears completly clear and they seem not to complain about spam.

What if I add an option so that people can make a contact email visible on the plugin page ?

it's a good start, just avoid showing the full email address, otherwise automatic parsing bots "will" spam every email they find online :)

Otherwise, a small "contact form" on each plugin page would also be good. Like this you don't need to maintain a PM system, and the email remains "more or less" hidden (and the dev may adjust his email anytime in the account preferences, very handy for post-docs moving around...)
