right - as I now know the direction of the interface (python) i will start
designing a plugin interface for the box that follows my previous thoughts.

- ----- Original Message -----

I just had a thought, while reading the other new posts to this list. How
about adding an uninstallation facility for the plugins, 'cos I can tell for
sure that people will often want to install a plugin to test, and then want
to remove it again if they don't like it.

My thoughts for a plugin architecture (using the system that i designed for
my own website):
have a seperate section on the main page for plugins where the underlying
code will
- - -  check for directories in (eg) /var/ipcop/plugins
- - -  for each directory, check for a file that describes the plugin
- - -  display a link using data from the file mentioned previously
- - -  on clicking the link, open up (behind the scenes) the plugin file and
execute it's code to display it's interface
- - -  the plugin's interface will allow activation/deactivation of anything
that needs more setup, eg a cron job

hope that made sense - i used php btw.
