I'm no expert but that seems to make sense, storing a plugin database out of the calibre confic directory, just to be on the safe side.

One advantage to .json files is that they can be accessed, and edited with a text editor, whereas a sqlite database requires a tool such as DB Browser or SQL Studio to do the same.

This did cross my mind so it's good to see that validation.

In my ideal world each plugin would have a subdirectory in which the plugin zip and all of its data, settings, help files etc were located.

Do you mean packaged in such a way so as to install the plugin
with all user data/settings etc already in place? Like a personal single-file backup being installed to a new computer?
Or just for the zip and all data/settings to be located in a single folder?
