--- Comment #3 from Magnus Enger <magnus at libriotech.no> ---
I enabled the feature by adding this to koha-conf.xml:

 <plugin_repos>
        <repo>
                <name>ByWater Solutions</name>
                <org_name>bywatersolutions</org_name>
                <service>github</service>
            </repo>
        <repo>
                <name>Theke Solutions</name>
                <org_name>thekesolutions</org_name>
                <service>github</service>
            </repo>
 </plugin_repos>


Without the patch I always get this error:

malformed JSON string, neither tag, array, object, number, string or atom, at
character offset 0 (before "(end of string)") at /usr/share/perl5/JSON.pm line
171

Is this the expected error we are trying to fix here?

After applying the patch I searched for "koha-plugin" and got a bunch of hits,
but only from Bywater. When I did the search again straight away it chewed for
a while, then I got nothing. That is better than an ugly error message, of
course, but wouldn't a friendly message like "oops something went wrong, please
adjust your search or try again later" be better?

Perhaps we could also intercept a search for "koha-plugin" and warn that it
might exceed the rate limits and give unexepected results?
