Aye. I plan to do a nice "how-to" for add-on developers and other users specifically for the add-on pages on the wiki. For now I have this (very) basic page that has some info about the tools on the wiki:
http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Help:Main_page
I have to do surgery tomorrow (nothing crazy) and it will prevent me from going to work for a few weeks (no heavy lifting), so I'll have LOTS of time to work on the wiki. If I can't get some explanation pages up during that time then I have no excuse except for being lazy :D

Will addons from XBMCHub be accepted into this?
BTW It looks really good.

What the plan to deal with repos? It's ok to list to addons, but the addons get updated from the repos.
Is the plan to automatically install the repo that goes along with the addon? If not people will have to update on their repo then your plugin repository. Could get messy.

Apple don't allow tmdb or imdb scraping apps any more for exactly those reasons. Imagine if xbmc did that also.
I certainly have no problem hosting something that links to other things that link to other things. Its called the internet
err, what? We do enforce our piracy policy..
Not sure what you mean by Apple not allowing TMDB or IMDB apps. IMDB specifically has an app in Apple's App Store, and there are multiple apps that use data from TMDB.
Also.. did no one mention yet that Team-XBMC already has existing plans for something like this? It won't be a "store", but it will be an web portal-like site for the xbmc.org repo, complete with ratings and reporting broken add-ons, etc.

Honestly, I'm not sure what's going on with it. They might even want your help (or might not have even started anything). I'll look into it.

Great. Well I have already done a little work on a 'proof of concept' site on my local server at home. When I get back from work tonight I'll put it up on my public hosting and stick the source on google code too.
The code I am working on is in PHP based on the codeigniter framework with a MySQL database which I've already knocked together. I based a fair amount of it on your designs and it seems to be coming together quite well.
I have server space as I run a web hosting resellers business on the side. I don't push it too much and we have enough clients to break even on the expenses but the main reason I look after that is to have somewhere to put projects like this.
