+ * SECTION:gis-plugin
+ * @short_description: Plugin support
+ *
+ * A plugin in libgis is a GObject which implements the GisPlugin interface. Additionally, each
+ * plugin is compiled to a separate shared object and loaded conditionally at runtime when the
+ * plugin is enabled. Each such shared object should define a GisPluginConstructor() function named
+ * gis_plugin_NAME_new which will be called when loading the plugin.
+ *
+ * Almost all libgis functionality is provided by a set of plugins. Each plugin can how however much
+ * it likes. The interface between plugins and the rest of libgis is intentionally very thin. Since
+ * libgis is the library, plugins must manually do everything. For instance, to draw something in
+ * the world, the plugin must add an object to the viewer. Likewise, plugins need to register
+ * callbacks on the viewer in order to receive updates, very little happens automagically.
+ *
+ * That being said, one thing that plugins do do automagically, is provide a configuration area.
+ * Since the plugin doesn't know what application is is being loaded form, it is better for the
+ * application to ask the plugin for it's confirmation area, not the other way around.
