Hi All

If Lutz is reading this I would be interested to know something about how
this plugin interface will work.
Any simple examples to look out to see how it all fits together. Will it
need a detailed understanding of how Moray works internally to describe
objects? It sounds like a great idea but if the necessary docs and examples
are too brief it will put off people trying to write a plugin.
I managed to do an Spatch Plugin but that didn't  have a very complex
internal data structure.
Keep up the hard work Lutz, hope the next version is ready soon ?

                                                regards Geoff

Hi Geoff, you recently wrote in moray.win:

The Plugin SDK is currently in beta test and will be documented quite
well IMHO. It comes with four samples all very well commented.

Compared to an sPatch plugin, writing a Moray plugin will be more
complex, simply because the Moray plugin system exposes much more
functionality and will allow much deeper integration into Moray.
sPatch only exposes an Export plugin interface.
