One thing I want to mention is that I think a more appropriate term is
that display data, including music stores, would be supplied by
Plugins. I don't think we should limit ourselves to scripts, in
whatever language; I think we should also try to allow compiled C++
plugins. For many things they are faster (and for some things, like
devices, they may be necessary).
As time permits I'm still slowly ironing out a proposal for a plugin
system that would allow discovery of plugin capabilities, and even allow
plugins to interact with each other. Time is still short, until at
least mid-March, and I am also finishing up the colored stars code for
review (nearly there), but it is a priority since we're getting heavy
into design and I hope to have something preliminary soon that can be
ripped to shreds, more or less lovingly, by you all.
