In your case perhaps.
- I use that to keep track of all the hacks I make to supply support when there is need.

To keep track / installed hacks
- hit install.

To each their own. I know that I get e-mails on the progress of hacks when they do updates hitting install.

Maybe the install feature could be extended to include a watching feature .. this way when the coder is sending email regarding updates, it can be sent to the watching members too ... At the end of the day this in my opinion is what it would be used for. Waiting till there`s a more stable version, waiting till a hack is out of beta etc etc ...

Just an idea :)
