looks really useful! Even more useful, if the plugin already came pre-installed, so if we want Joe User to try the latest version of plugin XY, we could simply tell them "Click on this link, then continue clicking OK, until you have sent us all your money ^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H installed the plugin."(*) In other words, I think it would make sense to include this in the official distribution (and have it activated by default), only I'm not quite sure, where it would go: 1) It does not get added to the menu at all, assuming users are unlikely to use the plugin manually, in the first place. 2) Add it to File->Import, somewhere. 3) Add it to Settings, below "Manage R plugins and packages", which may mean making it *too* prominently visible, though. 4) ? Regards Thomas (*): Seriously, this does raise some interesting questions on system security. Although, at least, opening a plugin from a link never auto-submits it (and it looks very reasonable to keep it that way, in light of this).
