Why is phpmyadmin / webmail etc part of the tree?

Yes... I missed that It has always pissed me off that I had to keep pma in my local repository, so seeing it in omega too was not nice.

My main reason is more technical: having a local package (even worse: a customized package) of another project means that I have to follow the development of the other project and fix bugs in parallel in my customized version.

Making omega work with the default squirrel and pma and whatever on a server is much easier in the long run and updates are a matter of apt-get update; apt-get upgrade (that's why I love debian).

We should discuss this for version after 1.0

I think a generic "plugin" system and packages would be nice but I'd limit their number (perhaps pma, a couple of webmails like squirrel and roundcube). Installing anything more would become troublesome (like in cpanel... it never works).

Also, a theme for the webmail is the maximum I'd do (just because end users might like it). A theme for pma for example is not something a developer will appreciate that much (i.e.... a dev is likely to upload the last pma to their site instead of using our own version).
