 == Javascript plugin loader ==
 Similar to the Perl and Mono plugin loaders but for Javascript
 
-== Pidgin Plugin Website ==
-A plugin website for browsing plugins in a nicer way than just the list view on [wiki:ThirdPartyPlugins].  Possibly integration with Pidgin via a built-in plugin browser.  See [http://adiumxtras.com/ adiumxtras.com] and [http://addons.instantbird.org/ addons.instantbird.org] for examples.
+== Easy plugins with a website ==
+Current process of installing plugins discourages users from doing it. Now, user have to run through [wiki:ThirdPartyPlugins the list], download a plugin, extract it and copy to some "magic" folder. Some things could be done to improve the situation:
+ * a mechanism for installing a plugin without touching a filesystem (downloading from URL, saving in user directory, loading it)
+ * new, (really) convenient plugins window
+ * plugins website with something like 1-click-install from openSuSE
+ * (optional) auto-update mechanism
+Examples:
+ * [http://adiumxtras.com/ adiumxtras.com]
+ * [http://addons.instantbird.org/ addons.instantbird.org], [https://addons.mozilla.org/ addons.mozilla.org]
+ * [http://software.opensuse.org/package/pidgin software.opensuse.org]
 
 == XMPP prpl improvements ==
