<p>To me it seems that processing algorithm provider plugins are
language or tool specific plugins that add a new section to the
processing. Processing is itself a plugin (although a core one).</p>
<p>I don't think providers should add custom GUIs beyond what is
needed to manage itself and the algorithms it provides. That is,
its GUI is for adding, possibly creating, etc. algorithms. It
should mostly work through the processing plugin.<br>
</p>
<p>The "algorithms" are processing tools (scripts, external
programs, etc) that only have a thin wrapper so that the provider
plugin can help the processing plugin create a GUI for running it
or linking it to other tools to create models.</p>
<p>This is my understanding that I've gained by creating a provider
plugin for Perl programs to be used as processing algorithms.</p>
<p>I'm actually a bit against listing the providers separately since
the user should not need to care what language or program the
processing tool is written as long as it does what the user wants.<br>
