Maybe we can have a page for requesting a plugin? (Not from the head developer but other ikiwiki end-users.)

I have seen a few requests on discussion pages, but not any place specific I think.

--JeremyReed

[[todo/plugin]] has a list of stuff, moved yours there. --[[Joey]]

It would be nice if the page gave a brief synopsis for each plugin. For example:

headinganchors
Adds IDs to all headings based on their text.

pagetemplate
Inserts page text into chosen template with the template controlling the look and feel.

graphviz
Allows embedding of graphviz graphs.

Any objections to listing plugins alphabetically rather than by creation date? (i.e. change the inline to have sort="title".)

-- Will

Well, it's been done by Josh, but I do wonder if there wasn't value to being able to look at the top of the page for new plugins? --[[Joey]]

I agree, which is why I brought it up here rather than just changing it. On balance I think the alphabetical list is better. You could have a "recently changed" list with the 10 most recently changed plugins at the top. That would allow what you suggested, but still allow the main list to be alphabetical. -- [[Will]]

How about adding a deprecated tag in order to clean up the plugin list?

For instance [[googlecalendar]] is listed as plugin but should probably be removed from Ikiwiki in a future major version (v3?).
