This "nice to have" might be a very low priority at this stage of the Bootstrap roll-out, but I've been thinking about it and wanted to throw it out there for discussion.
There are many extensions/plugins for Bootstrap that would be [nice/fun/useful/cool] to have available here. For example, here is short list from Tutolialzine.com:
50 Must-have Plugins for Extending Twitter Bootstrap
I would like to see the dev team figure out a way for us to include plugins in a way that they deem safe. How about setting up some kind of review panel that can take requests from users to make specific plugins available? For example, I might like to be able to use the Bootstrap Image Gallery, so I submit a request asking that it be made available for Bootstrap sites. Squark, TeRq or mkoszut take a look and see that it's safe and agree it would be a good addition and add it to the Wikidot Bootstrap plugin library.
Then in my layout code, I use module-type syntax to activate the plugin on my site.
[[plugin BootstrapImageGallery]]
I think most plugins would consist of a javascript file and a CSS file. The above code would tell Wikidot to add the appropriate code to the <head> section of our site.
/* bootstrap js*/ <script type="text/javascript" src="<path to plugin-javascript>"></script> /* bootstrap css*/ @import url(<path to plugin css>);
Using this type of syntax would allow us to potentially have many plugins available, but keep the overhead down by only including the plugins we want to use.
