I propose that we need a generic term by which we can refer to plugins /skin and addons.

If no one objects and no one has a better idea, how about we call them TWikiExtensions?

I think TWikiExtension is a good umbrella term for Add-Ons/Plugins/Skins. Listing them separately in the WebHome is a good way of presenting the big pool of extensions, therefore it makes sense to keep the classification.

We need TWikiExtensionBug tracking to offload the dev topics from bugs.

• The ProposedNewFormsInCodev would also be used in the plugins web for this purpose. -- SamHasler - 09 Oct 2004

Will, I do not understand. Why are "Webs (GetAWebAddOn produces wiki web packages)" listed here?

-- PeterThoeny - 30 Apr 2005

I removed the "Webs" from the list of extensions since this falls under Add-Ons.
