I do not understand what you are proposing. Hubzilla plugins can use the Zot to allow access to (1) local hub members only, (2) only authenticated members on the network, (3) all visitors including non-authenticated, or (4) some custom access list that the plugin supports on its own. A plugin does not necessarily have to be installed locally on a hub for someone to use it. An example is my Rendezvous plugin. Anyone visiting the plugin with the "secret link" may participate in the map, but only local members can see the page that allows you to create maps.

If you are talking about allowing non-admins to download and install plugins (even cryptographically verified ones), then this will not be allowed because plugins have unrestricted access to the database and web root files.

So the only difference between this and what we're doing today is using webtorrent instead of http/dav as a distribution method?

My goal is in Hubzilla-ecosystem together with other Grid-member such workflows and infrastructure to establish, whereby is it possible:
  • time-saving distributing, quality check und quick availability of new Hubzilla-Features, for example plugins
  • quick availability of new Hubzilla-Features for interested members
I thing important difference is, that distribution with webtorrent decentralized is.

However, I strive only for solutions, these satisfied the safety requirements of Hubzilla-project.

Ma Idea is, one workflow with BittorrentServer plugin how with Rendezvous plugin. One member, for example Mary can install BittorentServer plugin and Gustav can test the functionality of this plugin.
