Hi, I have started digging into plugins recently. There are many positive things though I would like to point to some problem areas
1. Documentation a. It doesn't include the features of 7.0. There are many outstanding features, though I needed to ping the developers to ask how these features work. It means that it's almost impossible to develop plugins for upcoming releases. The external developer needs to wait for documentation so it creates a lag between release and plugin release. b. in [1] the statement about 'For Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS' should be extended to 14.04. Also we don't need to add PATCH version as 12.04.2 is equivalent to 12.04 c. There is no documentation how to install fpb from github master branch. It's very useful for developers who want to use latest version. We should add something 2. Github repository [2] is messed up a. We are doing the same mistake putting all things into one basket. There should be 2 repositories. One for examples and one for fpb. What's the goal of keeping fpb in directory and examples on top? This breaks a couple of things b. I cannot build fpm with simple pip install git+https:// Instead I am forced to do git clone https:// cd fuel-plugins pip install . c. There is no tags as I can see only stable/6.0 d. There are no tests to improve code quality pep8 flask8, code coverage e. Repository doesn't follow community standards. 3. Setting tab When plugin is installed, it's very hard to find in. In setting tab it's somewhere between A and Z How is user supposed to find it? There should be a separator between Core features and plugins. User must easily find, configure, enable/disable them. P.S. I am asking everyone to add own concerns so we'll be able to make a plan how to address them. Thank you in advance.
