This is all very nice for a future collection of links, but it does
not help now. :-)
Am I to understand that there is no recorded instance of this
discussion? Well, let's start now, then, so that next time we can
point to the mailing list archives.
First of all a definition of the problem area: what are considered
plug-ins? Everything that goes into the directory 'plug-ins'?
Anything else?
When talking about scripts earliers, I noticed that there is no clear
way of distinguishing which scripts belong in the core distribution
and which don't. I suggest we tackle this problem (first?).
My suggestion is that the following plug-ins belong to the core
distribution:
- those that perform a task that the GIMP should have provided for
itself or will provide for in the future;
- those that will help other plug-in authors better understand how to
write plug-ins;
- those that will make the GIMP look good when compared to other
raster image editors; and
- those that perform a task the best in its field.
Can such a distinction be made?
