As a JPluck user, I agree wholeheartedly with these suggestions and also
volunteer as an alpha-beta tester. One additional suggestion:
JPluck's JXL format seems to be much easier to deal with than the separate
plucker.ini/home.html/exclusionlist.txt files required by the Plucker
Desktop and Python distiller. I know there exist python XML libraries,
has anyone looked into making the python distiller compatible?
