One thing that we should take in account is 4x float buf support (think Orange).

It looks like most of the comments are for adding specific plugins. I would say the wipeout plugin is probably one that should be a stock effect. On another note I think it would be very useful to set it up so that the builtin effects and the plugins were structured more similar. It shouldn't be difficult to say ok this plugin is a core plugin lets add it to the distribution. I think if we work on this it might make the system a bit easier as well.

I see there is a separate section for Plugins. I guess it's necissary for backwards compatability. But I'd think just about all of them should be plugins (at very least all those in the Image Effects menu). It's just a matter enhancing the plugin API to support a menu heirarchy. Maybe have Plugin names like "Image Effects|Manipulation|Pan+Zoom", and the menu heirarchy is built implicity from that.

I'd be in favor of having plugins in a menu, similar to python scripts. It's annoying and difficult to load plugins by hand every time you want to use them.
