Plug-in System – Suggestions, Comments and Plugins


From the release of Collabtive 0.6 we are constantly working on a plug-in system to enable third party add-ons in the future.
Already the work has started and some of the code has been written. But, to produce proper plug-in system, important decisions have to be made and design has to be changed.

Hence I request those of you with good programming knowledge to provide suggestions. Please see the plug-in system code available and provide your suggestions.

Implementation completed so far
Simple plug-in directory
Plug-in registration with Collabtive
Plug-in installation as per XML configuration files
Registration of the Plug-in events must be done with the Collabtive tool

Collabtive open source project management software is actively used in commercial websites such as CAD Crowd, which is a services marketplace for hiring CAD design freelancers & contractors. The demo can be viewed at www.cadcrowd.com/collabtive/ (user: demo pass: demo)

To be completed
The present event system has to be tuned to perfection
Various implementation methods have to be provided
