I can't seem to find any plugins (tools) for Allura beyond the basic ones 
provided by Allura itself.  Is there a repo of them somewhere?

I've read a few articles about Allura now… and don't really see what it 
provides above other "forge" packages…

The whole things seems to be built around some misguided principle that the 
best way to interact with a forge site is by sending email to it… that's 
literally the reason they give for why they created Allura instead of just 
enhancing Trac.  That seems dubious at best.

Still not against it… looks like a well thought out platform.  Just always 
interesting to see design ideas / justifications for new projects.

One thing that I like so far is the permission granularity.  It looks like you 
can control the permissions to any page in Allura.  That is actually somewhat 
difficult to do in Trac.  You can control access to whole sections of the site… 
but getting more fine grained controls (like for individual wiki pages) is 
tough / impossible.  This isn't a deal breaker for Trac for us… but it has 
caused some workarounds.
