Comment (by DD32):

 > The start install plugins page displays serialized array of popular
 tags:

 Hm, the API currently wp_die()'s the content it recieves if it cannot
 unserialize() it.. It appears to be working as expected for me, It might
 fail to unserialize it if it contains some UTF-8 characters though or
 something that confuses unserialize() - i'll look into it.

 > Featured Plugins only lists 3 plugins and only displays the same three.
 Expected to display full list of 6 that randomizes or multiple pages of
 all featured.
 > Popular Plugins only lists 6 plugins and displays the same 6. Expected
 to either display random plugins each page load or multiple pages of all
 popular.

 The API doesnt return the same data now that its on api.wordpress.org as
 it did on my test install :P I'll have to get someone to look into the
 bbPress views on the wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ install to see if it
 can be set to return more of a variety

 > After install, offer to activate the plugin or dismiss dialog.
 Yep, Some other stylings need to be applied to that too, I was intending
 on having it have something like "Activate Now | Go to Plugins page |
 Dismiss dialogue"
