- Using the installation options to choose addons is unnecessary
complication since each OS has a different method for installing.

- An online addons repository would be OK however this would be best
as a front-end to the contrib svn repo, since we can manage version's
with svn and the bugs with the tracker, An frontend could be nice for
users to download the addons. rate etc as you suggest but its also
work for someone to manage, I'd suggest wait until Blender2.5 has a
stable release.
