How about a ‘PluginStore’? We could put them in the source tree, and then link that from the github checkout used to do the automated builds. They would then be available under http(s)://api.openvehicles.com/firmware/ <http://api.openvehicles.com/firmware/>… The server side would be trivial. If we had an index with plugin name, version, and description, we could have a simple interface on the module to download/update.

That might drive plugin development and sharing, but also incentivise improving the plugin architecture itself.

Opinions?

Mark.

As the Leaf has some degradation issues with hot climates as well, maybe a battery cooling assist could also be valuable. I still don't understand why Nissan -again- decided against an active battery temperature management.
