Currently Discussion of How Plugins will be done. Eventually will be documentation
Updated Aug 4, 2009 by skree...@gmail.com

Introduction

Plugins are really a good indicator of how well a system is being taken up. It's also a good indicator of how balanced the design of the system is. Too complex and no one will attempt to make anything of interest. Too simple and people will build up a lot of the same things but quickly get frustrated.

Details

Plugins should be sandboxed to some extent they should be given fairly wide ranging abilites but still should be virtually unable to bring down the whole system. Some collaboration should be encouraged to allow plugins to interface with other plugins. This way more focus can be placed by core devs on needed infrastructure while plugin makers can provide wanted or needed functionality. Since the packages will have dependency trees we can allow a plugin to require and install other plugins as needed. Add your content here. Format your content with:
