Are the plugins written in PHP or do they use a different language? If they're in PHP then I can't support them but if they're in something like say lua I can try. It really depends on what the plugins expect, and given how badly statusnet is designed I can't imagine the plugin system does a good job of seperating them from the implimentation so in all likelyhood all plugins will be unsupported. This isn't likely to be a problem though as many of them have functionality that ought to be included anyway. This is looking pretty far ahead though, right now I just want API compatability while getting the system implimented in ways that aren't horrible."}
