Hi Arios,

One other thought after studying your outline. I have a second epub manual written for plugin developers. I would like to see all of the technical material about writing or creating plugins, kept in that manual, and not in the general User's guide.

All the User's guide should do is talk about the plugins in general, maybe link to MR's Sigil Plugin Index thread, and talk about how you manage plugins using Preferences (add, and remove, using the embedded python interpreter, etc, and finally, how you launch and run a plugin (images of the PluginRunner Dialog running maybe).

All plugin developer stuff will be kept in the developer's Plugin Frameworks epub, instead.

Thanks!

KevinH
