The wiki doesn't really have a good page to link to, the plugin list on
the wiki is very outdated and Logitech no longer wants people to install
plugins manually, they like them to be installed through Extension
Downloader. 

I would personally prefer an automatically generated page based on the
plugin repository information linked from this wiki page:
http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/SqueezeCenter_Repositories

It's pretty clear to me that Logitech seems to have chosen to not
promote third party plugins. They might just have missed it but it feels
strange to miss the third party plugins concept, so I suspect it was an
intentional decision to make them harder to find. Hopefully the reason
is that they intends to make them more visible through Extension
Downloader.

Even though there are some third party plugins that isn't music related
I think most are related to music and enhances the system as a music
player. It does feel a bit strange to completely ignore to describe this
advantage compared to other competing music players/systems.
