Details! is still working on it

On what? Putting his stuff on Github? No idea but I did say most authors.

If you're writing Addons in WoW for money you're going to have a bad time.

I'm not, but I can guarantee to you that half of the "must have" addons most players use need said money because those addons are a full time job in many cases. You literally have addons with entire development teams.

Hashtags are probably the only (practical) method. This particular topic is something I spent a fair amount thinking on and that particular problem is difficult.

Personally I'd be ok with Blizzard hosting the model for addons via git repo's. It'd make discoverability easier as well as many other things but WoW's dev's don't seem interested in resolving those particular problems. Who knows, maybe doing that would cost us a tier or something.

I'm hopeful that Blizzard is working on a system for managing and installing Addons themselves, to avoid all this rigmarole and bullshit.
