When someone searches for a Vim plugin in google, this
site shows up as one of the top hits. But the plugins hosted
in this repository are old and have bugs. The newer versions
are either available at www.vim.org or in other github
repositories. The readme page of each plugin doesn't point
this out.

In that case, the repository should be refreshed with new versions
of the plugins from the www.vim.org site.
