Hi everyone,

I would like to share with you some of my feelings about the way plugins
dependencies should be handled.

1- is that normal that plugins simply do trivial actions, or almost?

2- in case a trivial plugin covers a trivial functionality already
covered by a wider plugin, what should be done ? Introduce dependencies
between the plugins, or have each piece of code do their way separately?


This question is motivated by the apparition of the new sfTagCloudPlugin
plugin, which bundles a module component for displaying a tag cloud from
an associative array (I guess this should rather be a helper, but anyway
:)).

The real problem is, that this job is already done by the
sfPropelActAsTaggableBehaviorPlugin, which is intended to cover all the
tagging-related issues in a Symfony development. Particularly, it
includes a tag_cloud helper. So my question: should the
sfPropelActAsTaggableBehaviorPlugin be modified, so that it introduces a
dependency to the sfTagCloudPlugin?

Or should the sfTagCloudPlugin use the same code like the
sfPropelActAsTaggableBehaviorPlugin for tag-clouds rendering?

Thanks,

xavier
