Comment 36 for bug 938180

I propose the following:

If someone finds the time to work on this, we'll accept shortcomings in the application, as long as they are only activated when the user intends to activate them AND the user has full transparency about which features are disabled for what reason.

The development of the external plugins is not up to the main mixxx development and has to be done in the community.

Mixxx should not limit any of it's opportunities to cooperate with for-profit companies, any agreements are up to the plugin developers. If the companies reject cooperating with developers instead of the true application, we should not implement these streaming services.

I can totally trace the point of be. For example, I don't like FOSS which advertises with integration for different proprietary platforms and I think Mixxx shouldn't do so.
But I still think that we should offer the user the opportunity to extend their software with plug-ins, which also have the chance to temporarily modify the behaviour of the application if the user explicitly wants them to do so.

I hope we can stay with (something like) that, and see if someone is going to implement the plugin management into the application.
