While I agree that it would be good to give plugins more visibility, I am reluctant to see the size of the navigation entries increase. At the moment I think this is an issue because the categories cannot be collapsed. However, if we add that capability in the future then I think it would make a lot of sense to have a new category for plugin related functions. Until that time, I think the plugins functions are fairly visible (as Lin pointed out) since the entry is always in the view.

Hey, Right now, the plugins portlet is not all that visible in the admin console (it's under Applications / Plugins). I think it would be great to make it more visible by creating a new "Plugins" section with "Install", "Export", and "Assemble Server" subsections. I already created three separate portlets for these plugin operations so rearranging things visually should be easy. Thoughts? Jarek
