Plugin Directory indicate multisite support for each listing

    Multisite is something that many, many plugin developers don’t account for when developing a plugin. As a plugin developer who has worked to make sure that my plugins function well in this environment, it would be nice to have a way to indicate within the plugin fields that multisite is supported.

    This could be done in the text of the general description, but from a multisite admin’s perspective, I would think being able to filter on this new field would make finding plugins that they can use much easier. Having the explicit field available also might increase the number of plugin developers aware of the special needs of multisite and maybe they’ll add the functionality to their plugins so that they can list as multisite-compatible.

    Just a thought.

    We have a tag they’re supposed to use: wpmu (or they can use multisite)

    But that said… The repo is open and wild and free, so you’re going to always have people that don’t tag/announce properly. We’re talking about enforcing tags, or manually manging them, btu there isn’t a great way about it yet.

    Thanks, Ipstenu. Didn’t know wpmu was the defacto standard for this. I’ll add that to my plugins.

    It would be nice to have less flexibility with the tags though. In other words, have a fixed set of tags and let people use those or vote to have new ones included. The way it is now is pretty useless in terms of finding anything of relevance.
