Sure, it is very basic but I have try to make it very clean and very
short so we can start to add new functionality very easily.

We have a field called active. Maybe this field can only be changed by
and admin plugin rol. We can have an ACL that controls this. It could be
a good idea to test the ACL system with this simple plugin to learn the
possibilities of the ACL system ;-) If not, we can use the seclev
system. To activate a plugin you need to have more that 5000 or 10000.

Yes. We can use the createSelect function in Slash and have this
categories in a table. Maybe plugins_params ;-) because I think that a
plugin will change the info related to it in the near version of
slashcode.

Ops, the actual interface let you change the info about a plugin if you
have introduce it. Has you seen this? Try to insert a new plugin and
then you will have to list. The general plugin in list and a little list
with the plugins that you have introduce. If you click in a plugin owned
by you, then the interface show you a form that let you change the
plugin info.

But I am not sure if you refere to this. Maybe you talk about the
changes in the plugin between different versions and the patch needed to
upgrade the plugin.

It is now in the plugin. If your slash user has introduce the plugin you
can edit it.

Yes, this is wonderfull :-)

- Instalation instructions.
- The possibility to have comments about the plugins from other users
maybe using a slash story.
- The possibility for the user to give points/stars to the plugins
