Plugin Manager

[greendragon2010]

Would we like to make journal gedit plugin compatible or do we want to build our own plugin interface.

If so how do we want to implement it?
Gnome-Shell style, were plugins could potentially break with every update.

or

Plugin Manager, that has a documented API that we can build a community around.

Some people have recommended out own plugins. I honestly am unsure what the
best thing to do is.

@greendragon2010 you still up to do this, feel free to set the ground work for plugins. I will accept pull requests :)

Okay here's my idea, create an application api that plug-ins can write to. Then have a plug-in manager down the road that will be able to turn on and off plug-ins.

It can be done certainly. But it's a big job for @ryanleesipes. There's a lot to do when it comes to exposing a proper API to any plugins. I'm sure it'll eventually come in an update though.

My computer went down shortly after I post this, sorry for the long delay on the reply.

I am willing to write a proper API so @ryanleesipes doesn't have to. I'm also willing to learn so that this API is done correctly.

@greendragon2010 feel free to ask me any questions. Personally I am not sure the best way to tackle this, but I am open to whatever works.
