 +===== General Suggestions =====

 +After reading the documentation, and the code, I'd suggest that plugins SHOULD actually be utilized for user replacable functionality.  A prime example for this would be a login event.  Authentication plugins could then react to a login event, and return if a user is authorized for something.  This would also potentially allow for multiple authentication mechanisms, such as a Mantis specific administrator, but also single signon authentication with, say, an ldap source.

 +<jreese> As it is right now, the Mantis Logo is hardcoded to display,  
 +unless the user has set $g_top_include_page in their configuration.   
 +As plugins are meant to *add* features and content, rather than modify 
 +the existing functionality, I don't feel this applies well in its  
 +current form.

 +<jrees> Well, if we keep it as it currently is, the user can simply set 
 +up $g_top_include_page and $g_bottom_include_page, to handle integration 
 +rather than trying to make this happen in plugins.

 +<vboctor_> 3. In case of integrating Mantis in websites / CMS we want to 
 +avoid generating our own HEAD/BODY etc, right?   
 +<jreese> This depends, there are parts of Mantis that need to output  
 +resource links in the <head> tag, like CSS and Javascript, but to have 
 +Mantis integrated into other applications (not vice versa a la Dokuwiki) 
 +we could have the <head> section only output if $g_top_include_page isn'
 +set. 
 <vboctor_> 4. What about the string display chaining event? <vboctor_> 4. What about the string display chaining event?
