Moving plugin files into a single contained folder for ease of use.

Many popular Craft plugins keep all core plugin files within a folder of the desired plugin name. This makes it very easy to identify the files which are core to the plugin itself. In build processes that I use, the github tarball is extracted to a vendor folder and then the core folder is symlinked to the craft plugin directory. Reminiscent of how composer would handle things.

I won't take any offence if you reject this... just thought I would propose it!

Hi @howardroark, I'm going to disagree with you here. When using composer to install package, it makes more sense to put files at the root folder. Composer has support for craft plugin and the plugin in its current state can be added to a composer managed project as-is.

Fair enough! Are there any special instructions for installing Craft plugins with composer? I'd like to give it a try!
