Title:
  Wishlist: Generic plugin type

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  It would be useful to have a generic plugin type that provides all the
  benefits of every plugin type (i.e. lang strings, templates, cron
  jobs, config screens, config table, etc), while not having any
  specific functionality tied to it. This would be useful for:

  1. Encouraging encapsulation of core code, especially for components
  that are mostly standalone, like the new "chat" functionality.

  2. Third-party distributed code that doesn't match any of the existing
  plugin types. (Although really, we should just have a "local" plugin
  type for these.)
