+## Overview
+Taverna's modular design allows various plugins to be added, increasing its
functionality.
+In Taverna 2, plugins are specific to versions of Taverna.
+We are hoping to change this in future, when we move to the
[OSGi](http://www.osgi.org/)
platform (see our [Roadmap](/introduction/roadmap) for details).
-There are several different things that can be plugged into Taverna.
-Of most interest are plugins that enable search and invocation of a specific
service type from
- worflows (e.g. a Web service plugin that enables adding a Web service based
on its
- WSDL description document and invoking it from a workflow).
-
-##Installing plugins
-
-To install a plugin for Taverna, use the *Plugin Manager* - it can be found
under
- *Updates and plugins* from the *Advanced* menu.
-If your plugin is not visible, select âFind New Pluginsâ.
-You may need to add the plugin site using âAdd Plugin Siteâ for specific
plugins.
-Check the box for the plugin and click install.
