It's been a while, but things are moving forward with a plugin directory 
website for Avogadro v2. Will Gladstone, who was at the 2018 UGM is currently 
developing this..

This mock-up is based a bit on the WordPress plugin site, but the Atom plugins 
are more heavily used.

That is, the website will have a directory of Avogadro plugins in GitHub 
repositories (with other protocols to come later).
- Author, # of stars, and version number or latest revision date will be 
tracked.
- Plugins can offer a short description and optionally a thumbnail or preview 
image.

For example Kutay Sezginel here in Chris Wilmer's group at Pitt has developed a 
really nice plugin for building 'nano cars' 
https://github.com/kbsezginel/nanocar-avogadro

I'm curious to get some feedback about how the directory should find the 
thumbnail and preview/header graphics..

So far, we've pushed for a plugin.json file in repositories that gives the 
name, description, etc. including a list of potential command scripts (e.g., 
one plugin could have multiple scripts for different actions).

Should the plugin.json include relative paths to graphics if available?

Thanks,
-Geoff
