Jomres 3.1.8 is now available for download via the license server or updates server. Apart from a few more bug fixes 3.1.8 finalises, for the most part, the remote plugin functionality.

Remote plugins are installed directly from the update server so you can be sure of getting the most up to date versions of your favourite plugins (if curl is enabled). It also installs mambots (aka plugins on Joomla 1.5), modules and Jomres minicomponents (these are stored outside of the Jomres directory tree so if you upgrade Jomres the files aren't changed). Naturally, all these plugins are free.

There's still a little work to be done with plugins as some are incompatible with each other and managing this needs to be worked out, but in general it's all there and working and Hazel and I can finally move onto other stuff like building an invoicing system for the site administrator.
