    initial v1  
    33> I think active installs is a very very good signal. A 100,000 says that there are at least tens of thousands of individual users who have both installed the plugin and for whom it is working. Given the 100k search queries a day, a very small percentage are developers, and so IMO we should not be suggesting brand new plugins that have no history to them. In cases where we know something about the plugin author we could try to do some boosting.
