ok, but i still think we should make installing plugin packages more obvious/
accessible. the current link opens a summary with more links, and the dialog 
you reach from there is just configuring the use of wizards of already 
installed plugins, and from there you get to the config to (de)activate 
already installed plugins. only if you explore a little you might get to the 
installation dialog. it's well hidden ;)

for my taste you should be presented a list of all installable plugins with no 
more than one click.

perhaps we should distance ourselves from the fact that these are ordinary R 
packages, when it comes to the way users are able to manage them. that is, not 
(at least: only) put them among all other R packages, but dedicate a tab to 
them exclusively, instead of only a checkbox, or even a standalone dialog 
window. i think that should be accessible from the dashboard.
