It's a known feature that plugin management in Trac is not so end user 
friendly.

- Plugins are hard to install due great variety of ways to install them.
Direct dropping of EGG-file, easy_install variations, using setup.py etc.

- Plugin compatiblity with certain version of Trac is not known. This 
can be seen in transition from 0.10 to 0.11. Specially there is at least 
few plugins that are 'abandoned' since 0.10 and will (propably) never 
get 0.11 upgrade. This is simple to resolve: stick with 0.10 till end of 
the world, upgrade to 0.11 and lose some functionality you used to have.

- There is not end user friendly collection of plugins. Trac-Hacks is 
excellent site in count but to find something there is a bit painful, 
even more painful is trying to determine quality of plugin since there 
is no review or stats mechanism.

- Do-it-as-a-plugin mentality. There is load of small requests to have 
small functionality, usually in core. Usually you get arrogant-appearing 
response 'Not in Trac can be done as a plugin'.

Plugins are pretty heavyweight solution, so why there couldn't be 
simpler scripting interface to Trac? Basically you could write what old 
macros were directly through web page and they get executed when needed. 
This is just an idea. I've no clue is it really feasible or would it 
provide any additional value.
