It will we great to have a paying mechanism in place where 2 or more people can pay for a plugin from the market.
Advantages :
1. The cost of a plugin goes substantially down, since it is shared between multiple people.
2. It will encourage more people to get together and pay for innovative plugins.
3. More people paying for plugins mean more employment generated for developers.
4. More innovation happening helps in overall growth of the Open source platform. making it useful for everyone. Hopefuly many of these paid plugins are eventually given out to the community for free.
