 * Is there a decent plugin that notifies when an update has been made? I think 
   I was using WP-Plugin but it never was up to date. Thanks.

 * We’re waiting for you to write one. 🙂
 * I just use Viper’s Plugins used plugin and run down the list every so often.

 * Well, there are approaches for this. The problem is that you would need some 
   sort of standardized and/or centralized infrastructure. This requires a lot of
   cooperation among WP developers and plugin authors.
 * Some people (including me) tried to evaluate in how far such a cooperation could
   be organized, but as soon as the discussion came to the WP developers, there 
   was no proper answer to receive. Automattic has announced to develop a plugin
   management framework some time ago, but nothing ever happened (afaik). But unless
   Automattic says “Go”, nobody will want to make this work for nothing (i.e. seeing
   a WP core implementation with the next release).
