Quoting Martin Jambor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
So as far as attracting new programmers, researchers and inexperienced students in particular is concerned, I think that effort that implementing plugins would take would be much better spent on keeping documentation up to date, possibly improving it (hey, Alexander, what were your problems, someone might answer them on Wiki for others!) and, in particular, staying as friendly and forgiving community as you are (especially on IRC anyway :-).
I certainly agree with this! The same effort spent on documentation rather than on a plugin system would, imho, give greater value. But, as there seems to be a willingness to work on plugins in contrast to the willingness to document, I am supporting progress wherever it is on offer.
The project is over and eventually I solved the problems through sweat and tears. I have the solutions scribbled down somewhere and eventually I mean to put the up on the web somewhere to save others the same pain.
