I came up with an idea for managing plugins via bundles.
I asked around, and the reddit.com community like the idea. I went ahead and implemented it.
I've made a very simple plugin that installs plugins listed in a text file. The text file itself has simple structure. It just needs to have plugin slugs, one per line. The other thing it has to do is have a .wpp extension.
For example, if you want to install this plugin ( http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/google-chrome-frame-for-wordpress/ ) all you need to do is add "google-chrome-frame-for-wordpress" on a new line in the text file.
For now, you have to edit the file by hand, but I'll be working on that. Also, you'll have to manually upload the file to the packs directory within the plugin folder.
So, the roadmap:
Let me know if there's anything else you'd like to see in this plugin.
