I have $conf['pluginmanager'] = 1 in the dozen of dokuwikis I have
installed and operate.

On the plugin manager front, no. But of course it would be nice to
have more plugins available as zip/tgz installable by the plugin
manager.

I don't know, as I don't have lib/plugins/config or
lib/plugins/settings using the plugin included with dokuwiki (last
pulled on tuesday), which says being version from 2005-08-10.

Same note as for plugins: if more templates become available in an
installable form for the plugin manager, this would be welcome.

IMHO plugins bundled with dokuwiki should not be removed from the
plugins/ directory, only inactivated.

I discovered user manager plugin recently. I was rather modifying
the users and acl files by hand. Maybe this plugin could be bundled
with dokuwiki: handling plugins/templates installations, users
editions and ACL settings seems to me a common task in all dokuwiki
installations.
BTW, thanks Chris, for writing these plugins.
PS: does anyone know if a working "calendar plugin" (display a month
calendar with associated event recorded) is available?
