UI & Toolbox Issues (was Editmesh Select Group)

Topic & Decisions

Blender's UI is getting a little cluttered, needs some cleanup.
We could embed a number slider to the select-group popup menu, representing threshold for all the group-select tools that needs it.
There could also be a "set threshold" in the select-grouped menus.
The popup system needs functionality improvements.

The current plugin system isn't very good.
Plugins can be written as python extension modules. This means we only have to maintain one API, which would solve a lot of issues. Unfortunately, this would not bypass the GPL and allow commercial plugins as previously believed.
Only way to write commercial plugins is apparently to write a "stub" plugin that spawns and communicates with another process (through shared mem or sockets).
