Subject: gathering requirements for the plugin system

We've been talking a little in the IRC channel about the plugin
system. It doesn't exist yet, so we're trying to figure out what use
cases it needs to support. I've started a wiki page to gather ideas,
and please also discuss things here. Anything you'd like to do with
CouchDB that isn't really part of its core functionality, could be
supported in a plugin. Also, some of the core features will be
supported by the plugin system as well (as far as I have gathered from
the IRC discussions). These include the view servers and the search
servers.

The wiki page: http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/PluginAPIUseCases

The goal is to have the foundation for plugins ready for the 1.0
release (I think, based on the IRC discussions.)
