Hi all,

I need to use and write plugins in FB3 for a specific app I am starting.
Covert Robbington and :-j need to write them too, a la Photoshop Plugins.

There have been some attempts to coax Staz and Andy in this, but they seem
to have it low on the list for undisclosed reasons.

Suggestions have been made about different ways of making plugins. Can we
put together a RFC (Request for Comment) and see what happens.

I am willing to co-ordinate this on or off list, or via the xfb forum.

I'll start the ball rolling by saying that I want a plugin to be linked in
at runtime and work just as if it were part of a fully written app. I need
this to add behaviours to my app so that I can extend it in a customisable
way depending upon the exact use that it is put to. It also helps me to
build and debug reusable modules that could be used somewhere else just by
plugging them in. How do we do it? Shared libraries? Docs that contain only
resources?

What do you think? Is there much interest out there at all for plugins?

Peter
