We created gedasymbols.org to collect user-generated add-ons (mostly
part symbols and footprints) from the community, with the expectation
that the popular ones could be migrated into the official
distributions at some point.

Accounts on gedasymbols are easy to get (just ask me) and updating is
easy to do (it's plain cvs), so we encourage people to contribute.

The plugin interface is very new.  I've only written teardrops and
renumberblock so far, myself.
