-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.
