Is there an official place for plugin documentation? There is help(), and an <url> inside the XML file that points to hb.o or a different external location (like, an authors blog post about said plugin). And FWIW, the Habari silo appears to be working now or at least I installed it, added a photo and linked it within a post via slimbox2. However, another form of missing documentation is how it handles thumbnails but they apparently follow the following format: - image: user/files/foo.jpg - thumbnail: user/files/.deriv/foo.jpg.thumbnail.jpg With a potential difference being custom directories living within user/files/.
