Joshua,

Thanks for the clarity, that makes a lot more sense now

*But I still ask*
The only problem is that if someone is using the node version, bob etc... 
and they do want the plugins available, why cant we make available a method 
to to push such plugins into the folder via the server?

I am confident is possible, and and no rocket science is required (Not that 
I can do it) it is just an unnecessary hurdle for new users on node.

I submitted a document change as per your suggestion in GitHub.

regards
Tony
