Take Atom as an example :
https://atom.io/packages/list
It use Github and get zip and install it.
Or a better one in my opinion :
https://packagecontrol.io/ for Sublime
It host and control all the packages but is in a sync with personal or public repositories like Github or BitBucket :
https://packagecontrol.io/docs/channels_and_repositories
https://packagecontrol.io/docs/submitting_a_package

Ok, I see the benefit of syncing with public repositories. Then anybody can develop a new package for example in GitHub and it will be part of the online package system.
It must be optional. Git ot other tools should not be forced to users.

And we should consider hosting :
https://packagecontrol.io/stats
https://packagecontrol.io/about

There is already CCR server. The purpose of CCR is to provide packages and projects made by users. It only has an SVN repo and thus is not as accessible as it should be.

Its not a small job

Let's keep it simple initially as suggested by Kostas in mailling list.
In fact I would like to have the technical discussion in the mailling list because there are people who will more likely participate.
For example all Lazarus developers follow the list but not all follow this forum.
Mostly Lazarus trunk and FPC 3.2 on Manjaro Linux 64-bit.

Agree again.
So we talk,The reason I post in the forum too is many users also dont read the mail list and for this subject its good to have others opinions.
