More ideas on a plugin manager: * Make it in collaboration with freedesktop.org * Provide a GUI and/or integration with desktop configuration systems * Develop a mechanism to find available plugins for installed packages from the Debian archive, e.g. plugin packages should have debtags indicating that they are a plugin for another package * Integrate with package-kit so that the user can install plugins without becoming root, directly from the plugin configuration GUI * The system must be backwards compatible. Users that installed a plugin package before expect it to be directly activated * The system could provide means to configure which kind of plugins are automatically available for all users and which must be activated by users
* packages that have a plugin system and could benefit from this (axi-cache search role::plugin) * shells: zsh, gnome shell * editors: vim, emacs, jedit, gedit * programming environments: eclipse, geany, scratch, kdesdk/kdevelop * awesome (window manager) * browsers: chrome, iceweasel (firefox), epiphany * mail user agents: icedove (thunderbird), claws, mutt, evolution * media players: gnome music player, banshee, totem, rhythmbox * instant messengers: pidgin, psi, xchat * file browsers: nautilus, konqueror, thunar * akonadi * audacious * gimp * compiz * image viewers: eog (eye of gnome) * GNU Krell Monitors gkrellm * libreoffice Thomas Koch, http://www.koch.ro _______________________________________________ Soc-coordination mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/soc-coordination
