That's an interesting notion(have thought of it myself), but implementing it would be quite a leap of faith. Assuming you have other things to do, you would have to consider who would run and maintain such a complex site. And, if all these people(developers, I assume) are developing plugs, they probably wouldn't have time to do so anyway.
Because of the complexities of having "other" peoples graphics on there, it would have to be somehow regulated. Not to mention the fact that, because of Ambrosia's sites , many developers would probably not see the immediate benefit in switching to a new site for things that, for the most part, can be done right here in EVDC.
I'm not bashing the idea, I think it's a good one. But unless you have a handle on all those and other logistics, it may just end up becoming a white elephant. If sombody wants beta-testers/plugs, they can come here. If they want ships, they can go to the many sites that give 'em away. Want textures? Go to the texture depot. It really isn't that hard to click on a link, and I don't think people here are that lazy.
Most of what you've proposed is already done right here. And basically, if it ain't broke.....
