  I see a few areas where plugins will be able to supplement, replace, or otherwise alter current functionality -

  • Kinds of content (i.e. video support plugin). This is mostly done, at least from the upload perspective, but it will need to be taken into account when we get serious with the content display code (both CMS and Screen ends of it).
  • Supplemental view blocks. There was discussion of being able to supplement views with additional modules to link to integrate other services, potentially of the social nature, into some key views. We'll have to identify what these key view blocks are...
  • Supplemental data. We've identified a base set of data required for the system to work, but people might want to add a field to some of our forms and tie in additional data. I haven't extensively thought about what forms make sense to offer this on, but clearly content, screen, and user seem like a good start. What other models make sense?
  • Alter select behaviors. Content rotation is the largest feature that comes to mind here, where someone might want to plugin a scheduling system or other rotation algorithm. What else could people want to override?
