hi,
been using Xanthia a lot recently. In the forums there is a lot of talk about plugins, but when searching to obtain them they don't fit any category. They are not modules or blocks. You might classify them as themes but they are more than that i feel... and as there is no specific topic in pnTHEMES it is still hard to find them.
As an example: i've been looking for a plugin that might allow me to place images as titles for blocks. Several people say they have one of these, but i can't download those anywhere... a plugin repository would help a lot, would it not? If not that, then maybe a plugin-topic on pnTHEMES would be possible?
What do you think?

I've never really seen a use for most of the plugins available for Xanthia, shouldn't all the logic be done in the API files? I do it this way and only do loops in the template files (actually the only plugin I really use is pnml ). Makes for a more easy to follow template.
Just my 2 cents

That's true when you are coding a module, to an extent, but if I want to make a plugin for Pagesetter I don't have access to modify Pagesetter's files. So, I can distribute a plugin to return some Pagesetter based output which anyone can use, and they don't have to modify Pagesetter.
Plugins are most useful for making reusable PHP code that anyone can use without needing a module, or alternatively for returning output from a module when you don't have direct access to that module's files to make changes.
