Concur on this viewpoint.

On a similar note, I find the most annoying part of plugins to be the lack
of coherent descriptions and missing changelogs. I really *want* to know
what a plugin actually does, and what's changed, before I upgrade it.

IMO such user-oriented documentation should be an ongoing requirement.

Many users are not necessarily going to go to the developer's web site to
figure out what the plugin does; though, that's often what you have to do
now, sometimes to no avail. I still have no idea what many plugins are for,
where they show up in the GUI (if at all) or how to use them once installed.

Regards,

Larry
