Well,
first, thank you for your responses to my post...
To make my own repository only featuring my liveries is a solution, but it's harder to find for other users, so a direct contribution to the plane's git repo makes most sense as a short term solution.
But, now to Gijs' answer, I personally like the idea of the liveries being stored and ready to download at one place, as it was the Database. For many average users, searching liveries and airplanes in lots of different places, webpages and repos is very complicated, I would really like to see this simplified. It is as well a stable platform for Livery-makers.
The livery database was and is the only Flightgear-Page, where nearly everything which is available concerning liveries is at one place, ready to download and easy accessible.
You want a livery? Go and look at the database, if it's not there, it doesn't exist in many cases.
This is what we need with aircraft as well, a webpage where every aircraft model is shown, described and accessible for download. Not hours of searching on the forum, or at GitHub. A webpage, where developers can send their planes to, and where they are uploaded, easy to download and that's it.
I know that this is a lot of maintenance stuff, but as we see so many volunteers, maybe we can simplify the whole community like this, and make it easier, clearer and more efficient.
Maybe that would be the solution.
Again, thanks for your responses,
