    Regarding Plugins

    I know this is probably my silly thinking but I did have some thought.

    Could it be possible to extend/morph Enchant to create a plugin control to allow them to function more strongly together? For example, back in reference to GDA, I had an AbiFuture thought of:

    I'd suppose that depends on what data you were using. Let's pretend were at
    AW2.2 and we have all the scripting macro-powers we like to pretend are out
    there from time to time. If I wanted to send a business letter to Hank Hill
    about an anticipated need of more propane due to a party or some such, I might
    just pop up the command plugin, and start "memo: business: Hill, Hank".
    Gypsython pops up, formats the page properly and then extracts Hank's contact
    information via GDA, which will grab his contact information from my
    Business_Contacts table on my MySQL server.

    Some of the capabilities aren't there, but it maybe easier to simplify some the processes via AbiCommand and something like Enchant, no?

    Just my lone thought,
    Eric
