Hy 孔晓泉,

In the future please write to the mailinglist *before* you start *yet
another package* for doing a task. Because there are already many
implementations:

pathogen
vundle
vim-addon-manager
vimana
(and probbably some more)

Then give those projects a try, and consider contributing (if they
philosophy is close enough to your ideas) - if not - document in which
way your solution is different. This will make it easier for other
people to know whether they want to give your solution a try

Your very last sentence sasy:

== Inspiration and ideas from ==
vundle
pathogen
bundler
Scott Bronson

which clearly shows that you've missed vim-addon-manager, which might be
closest to what you've been looking for.

Which in turn makes me think we should no longer wait, we have to setup
the git based wiki system on www.vim.org ASAP, else this will happen
over and over again and split the community.

Its great that people around Vim do solve problems - step up and get it
done. But the Vim eco system sucks so much - that energy is wasted a
lot. And we as community have to fix that.

If you think different don't be shy and tell me.
