Hello,

So am I to understand, that evolution plugins integrate into the back end server process rather than the front end UI?

If this is the case, I would seriously vote for adding a facility to create front end evolution plug ins. If evolution did this, we could make evolution as idiosyncratic as we pleased thru plug-ins.

Thank you,
Rob
