I'd say, also, the TW plugins are often quite different than what is thought of as an "add on". Mainly because they can change the actual functions in the TW (or at least scale off the software design in a quite morphic way). If you look at plugins for tools like TinyMCE or CKEditor, simple examples of "work-in-one-web-page" they "scale-off" their underlying code, but they don't intervene in it. I get confused whether the TW thing to promote should be an "empty" + "plugin 1" + "mod 2" + "plugin 9" etc. Or, better, a full made app? I guess what I am wondering is are we pushing for better plugin libraries for "developers" or "end-users"? Honestly, my thoughts are not well formed here. But if you take idea of an "app" being a "Lego kit", often centrally of a few plugins, how can libraries best deliver that? Hope I'm not too off topic!
