Biography/AlbumReview is a great example of things that would be nice
to be able to use with TinySC, they don't require a lot of
configuration. I'm guessing it would be possible, but maybe not easy, to
implement them completely in lua. However, if a perl version without web
interface configuration support would work as good it feels like a
better solution.

Other plugins like some of mine really requires the web interface to
make it "easy/possible" for the user to configure them, so these are
probably not a good candidate to run on TinySC. 

I think you really need to decide why TinySC won't support plugins.

If it just about avoiding support issues from users trying to install
things that require the web interface that could be easily solved by
only making it possible to install plugins which the third party
developer has specified works with TinySC. To do this we just need to
add something to the plugin repositories xml file that indicates if a
plugin works with TinySC or not.

If it's a resource issue where a perl plugin always takes up a lot more
resources than a lua applet with similar functionality I understand that
you might want to completely forbid plugins in TinySC (besides maybe
manually installed through ssh).
