Hello,
just have one idea regarding to addons.
Uploading addon thru web page is really big issue for me, as when someone makes some update in existing addon, and then wants to upload it, the new addon must have new name, or old one needs to be deleted, which is really confusing. what about creating oficial github repo for hollyhock, and attach download section to it. As GIT has the posibility of the hooks after commit/push i can imagine that after uploading files to that repository, the hook anonces to sensomusic webpage server that there is new commit and server can then just sync its local copy of the repository so the addons will be synced with actual versions, and yeah there will be no need to change anything in hollyhock itself, just server infrastructure and how addons are pushed to server to be served for the software.
Maybe i can help setting this up.

I too find it confusing and difficult trying to update new versions in the add-ons section.
I do think this is a good idea to update, or at least investigate as a possibility.

You're right add-ons integration is now too simple.
We have to rewrite it, both on the server (php) side and the Usine's side to make it more efficient.
An hard job but far to be impossible.
Github is a little bit complex for most of users so I'm not sure it's the best solution.

yep, i mean it in the way, that users will not need to use github - but it will bes somehow in background on the server side of things
