<ghuntley> so; if some core effort was put into plugin architecture then we could let the community run free and do their thing and allow iX to focus on corenas.
<molander> yes, that's definitely the plan
<molander> we are going to do it exactly as you surmise; using a jail to hold 3rd party add-ons
<molander> with the PC-BSD PBI infrastructure for "official" FreeNAS add-ons that modify the menu
<ghuntley> " PC-BSD uses files with the .pbi filename extension which, when double-clicked, bring up an installation wizard program. An autobuild system tracks the FreeBSD ports collection and generates new PBI's daily. The generated PBI's are maintained at the PC-BSD software repository."
<ghuntley> is that what you were talking about re: PBI plugin architecture?
<molander> yah, so a slightly mod'd PBI can easily install the app with dependencies and modify the menu system for the app
<molander> yes
so some questions to answer would be shoul
