Very helpful information ! Thanks for sharing.
Ah! So the way to get to the top of the download list is to release a new version every day. (Only joking – Michael Torbert & Semper Fi do a great job – All In One SEO is always one of my first downloads)
Pity that one of the best plugins, Simple:Press Forum (http://simplepressforum.com/) can’t get on the list, as it isn’t hosted on the WordPress plugin site.
