Plugin API
==========
+This documents the general plugin API.
+
+Please note, at this point OUR PLUGIN HOOKS MAY AND WILL CHANGE.
+Authors are encouraged to develop plugins and work with the
+MediaGoblin community to keep them up to date, but this API will be a
+moving target for a few releases.
+
+Please check the release notes for updates!

:mod:`pluginapi` Module
-----------------------
.. automodule:: mediagoblin.tools.pluginapi
:members: get_config, register_routes, register_template_path,
register_template_hooks, get_hook_templates,
- callable_runone, callable_runall
+ hook_handle, hook_runall, hook_transform
+
+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.
