[squeak-dev] Build, send and comment on Plugins page

There is a new page on the pharo website [1] with an overview
on all plugins available for squeak and pharo.

Plugins should be easily downloadable so one dont has to
rebuild them from scratch again and again. This is especially
for newbies with no knowledge of the tool chain to build plugins.

Feel free to send comments and build/send plugins for the various
OS platforms. The page is maintained by m.rueger at acm.org

Thank
Torsten

Good idea. Any reason not to maintain the page at Squeak.org in (or
near) the downloads section? I think this would make it easier for
people to find it when they're looking for a download.

Cheers,

That's a great start! Very useful potentially.

IMHO listing all the plugins that are usually built as internal is  
more confusing than helpful. At least that should be mentioned (or  
they should get their own table?). At the very least use a lower-case  
"i" to indicate "internal", I wondered what the vertical bar meant ;)

Plugins missing include Rome, DBus, GStreamer:

It would be a good idea to have that on Squeak.org *too*. The table on
the Pharo website is meant to be for the Pharo distribution. Right now
we use the same VMs, but in the future we will most likely see
differently packaged VMs (different sets of internal plugins).

Also bundled for me refers to everything that comes with a download,
which shouldn't really be a naked VM anyways. So usually you will have
internal plugins and bundled external plugins and additional dlls.
