Create Plug-in API

[kinow]

We can use plug-ins to let users modify Nestor to its own needs. One could use a set of plug-ins to have an agile test management tool, or provide different types or external API's.

Wordpress, Jenkins and Mantis provides different types of Plug-in API's (as well as other tools).

Here's a brief summary about its differences: http://www.kinoshita.eti.br/2012/10/25/a-quick-view-on-wordpress-mantis-and-jenkins-plug-in-api/

Half way through it. Using Laravel packages, with an extra entry in composer.json. This way we'll have what comes with packages: views, migrations, custom controllers and routes.

The upload & unzip feature is already implemented as well in branch try-issue-2. There is more work to be done, but I'd say we are more than 50% done. The initial plug-ins off the top of my head:

• Text area editor (uses <textarea> as editor)
• WYSIWYG editor (uses WYSIWYG editors with many JS flavours)
• Simple Auth (uses something similar to Sentry for authentication)

Probably this issue will be resolved before next weekend.
