+Configuration
+-------------
+
+Your plugin may define its own configuration defaults.
+
+Simply add to the directory of your plugin a config_spec.ini file. An
+example might look like::
+
+ [plugin_spec]
+ some_string = string(default="blork")
+ some_int = integer(default=50)
+
+This means that when people enable your plugin in their config you'll
+be able to provide defaults as well as type validation.
