-This is a first cut of a plugins implementation for Bacula.
-The current code is simply a test program named main, which
-when executed will load the plugin named plugin.so and then
-call it with a few calls, then exit.
+This is the plugins implementation for Bacula.
+The current plugins for the DIR and SD are untested.
+For the File daemon, there are three plugins.  The 
+first is purely experimental. The second is quite functional
+and useful -- bpipe, and the third is the Exchange plugin
+
+For more details on plugins please see the New Features
+chapter of the Concepts document.
 
 What is implemented:
 - load a plugin

   totally independent of Bacula.
 - The main test program is intended to be integrated into
   Bacula (at least a number of the functions therein).

-What is not yet implemented:
 - Search for all plugins in the plugin directory
 - Implement Bacula context for plugin instances
 - Implement plugin context for plugin instances
-- Some better method to pass variables
-- Pass Version information in plugin Initialize
-- Define more functionality (Bacula entry points, ...)
 - Integrate the code into Bacula
+- Figure out a way to deal with 3 types of plugins (Director,
+  File daemon, Storage daemon).
+- Pass Version information in plugin Initialize
+- Document the interface
+- Test Win32 plugins
+- Print all plugins loaded when Bacula starts
+- Print all plugins loaded during traceback
 - Make libbac.a into a shared object and allow plugin
   to call functions in directly so that plugins can use
   the same "safe" system utilities that Bacula uses.
-- Document the interface
 - Document libbac.so (when implemented)
-- Write a couple of plugins that really do something.

+- Write more plugins that really do something.
 - Error handling must be much improved and brought into Bacula
   programming style. It currently just printf()s a message then
-  exits.
