[Thuban-list] Planning Add-on capabilitiy

[Jan-Oliver Wagner]

Hi,

extending Thuban by Add-ons as an alternative
to directly add features to Thuban is desirable.
It will allow to create your own (special) application
with all the features of Thuban without the need
of forking the development and maintaining your own
branch of Thuban.

One example where an add-on is planned is
GREAT-ER (greater.intevation.org).
It is an environmental simulation tool for chemical
exposure in river networks.

We have identified four items required for an add-on:
It must be possible

-  to add additional menus to the menu bar
-  to add additional menu items to existing menus
-  to add tools
-  to store additional information in the xml-based session

Are you missing further customization features?

Any comment is welcome.

Cheers

	Jan
