It was late. We closed the discussion soon after you left. Thadeus will summarize what we said and we will circulate a draft proposal. The main issue was how to write plugin models so that they can be configurable and do not pollute the name space.
I think the structure we agreed upon was something like this... ### in db,py plugins=PluginCentral() # configure all plugins plugins.<name>.db = db ### in models/plugin_<name>.py def _(plugin): # set default values or return error on failure, for example if not plugin.db and db: plugin.db = db # you can use any local variable you want here private of _ ... # define plugin tables plugin.db.define_table(....) return # instantiate the plugin by passing the config parameteres _(plugins.<name>) # define public functions here but let us follow on the discussion and a write a better document with more examples and motivations.
