Allow users to register to a user-group that allows uploading. 3. Install UTW - Ultimate Tag warrior plugin. 4. Create a new wp item & single-post templates for PUI posts 5. Design some CSS for your requested specific elements 6. Write a post : title : name of PUI config content : description of needed installation details etc. tags : components required, component, component 7. Publish post under PUI category, enable comments 8. Install wp Ratings plugin 9. Install Advanced-Live-Search for AJAX finding 10. Install Advanced-search for deep database searching Optional ;) 11. wp Global-Translator? You can see it working on my site. 12. imagebox.js for previews? 13. create a wp Components category... 14. ...and use UTW to tag it to its relevant component-tag 15. add a unique to-components tag eg. 'see_component' 16. components category then gives all new components 17. looking @ /tag/see_component+columnsui gives you component 18. Rss Feeds are available for both new PUIs and components 19. A few php scripts could allow for users to see only all the components they have downloaded / are using and if there are newer versions available for download 20. Install wp recent-comments plugin for frontpage! Give us a shout if you need a hand. _zen Your best bet in ten steps :

I used to use LiteStep, an alternative to Windows Explorer for a Windows GUI, and one of the best things they did to make it usable for beginners was a plugin repository/updater. If we could include as part of this effort a plugin repository (with naming conventions etc.), and add to the start of each .pui file a section for specifying what plugins (and the needed versions) are required, it would be fairly easy for someone to write a little app that reads the .pui and checks the repository to automatically download the required plugins. This might be something to incorporate in PanelsUI itself, but I don't know if that will make it as broadly useful (the updater could also just check for newer versions of any plugins you have, not just those in .pui files).

I haven't started any work on this idea so far because of my University commitments but if you are going ahead with this I'd be able to help with the PHP. I have no experience in developing Wordpress plugins however.
