[wp-hackers] How to check a new plugin?

[Bill Dennen]

One suggestion for the plugin directory -- put the onus on plugin
developers to state whether or not their plugin creates additional
database tables, and other things. They could list the hooks they use,
for example.

It could be a short checklist that is displayed alongside the existing
plugin info in the plugin directory.

Having this info would help you decide whether a plugin is worth it --
and it would help you troubleshoot problems if they occur.
