During the Deploy kick-off meeting held in Newcastle 19-21 February 2008, it has been decided that all new developments should proceed in the following way:

  1. Develop the new functionality in an exploratory plug-in.
  2. Make your plug-in available to others and collect feedback from them.
  3. Have your plug-in peer-reviewed by another developer.
  4. Finally, if your new development is considered OK, integrate it in the core plug-ins.
