Jon and I have been discussing extending the Factory menu with a list of all plugins. That conversation begot this coding experiment. issue
See About Plugins Plugin
The first code I wrote fetched the list of plugins and reported the names as resolved links separated by <br> tags. commit
My next commit put the item.text field to work as a selector for subsetting the list of plugins. commit
My remaining work involved writing plugin documentation which can be read above. I keep a test server running and redirected it to the plugin as if were a page store.
I installed this plugin on asia.wiki.org by cloning it from its repo and building it in place. I used the https access rather than the usual ssh since I don't keep credentials on this server. github
I didn't have the grunt command on this site so I had to install it to continue. npm
The addition of regex selection made for a more interesting example in the about document. However, it really existed as an example of the fourth concern in our Chorus methodology: Talk about Work.
Regex could be part of this vocabulary but it alone is not enough to talk clearly about managing an explosion of plugins.
