Yes, no problem to discuss it. I see several approach :
- We remove the board icon and the kid do not see them
- We keep the icon and we add a red cross on them to inform they are not
available. If he click on it a dialog box tell what's wrong to the user
: we miss a plugin capable of handling the type xxx of board... Contact
Olivier for more information ;)
- <Dream>we download the plugin just in time when the user click on the
icon</dream>

What do you suggest ?
