From b2evolution manual

This page specifies possible tags, attributes and values for the xml files describing the skins, and possibly the plugins, their latest version, etc.

In the end I think we have 3 to 4 different xml file formats:

• 1) skininfo.xml which ships along with each skin
• 2) plugininfo.xml which is fully redundant with the plugin.php so probably not needed
• 3) skinlist.xml which contains a full list of what can be offered to a user
• 4) pluginlist.xml which contains a full list of what can be offered to a user

They all contain different sets of the same tags:

• 1 and 2 get into the DB on skins/plugins.b2evo.net
• 3 and 4 get out of the DBs
