The widgets idea is fantastic!
I thought I'd give the plugin writing thing a try so I created a skeleton plugin. Once that was done I spent more time
working on the graphics than I did working on the plugin functionality. Having some sort of widget library would probably
encourage more would-be plugin writers to actually write a plugin.
I've seen several -- okay, maybe just a few -- plugins use CommonUtlities.cs. Maybe this functionality can be used in the
dll as it appears people swipe this code and shove it into thier plugin code anyway. It would be nice to centralize
reusable code in one place.
This is bit off-topic... but what are the terms of using the source code that has been released. GPL, anyone?
