[Discussion] "Hello World" Redux (towards a possible Plugin SDK)

But we have no support in core for this stuff

That's where the shoe pinches. It makes little sense to build layers upon layers of shiny abstraction on a foundation that is outdated. In the long(er) run this should be implemented in the core. I'm giving lots of feedback like "this & that should" & don't actually contribute much in the way of code, but that's because I don't know PHP well enough to mod the core.. Is there anyone else actively maintaining core except you, shawn_a?
