Description Tom Zanussi 2015-01-07 15:26:06 UTC

New plugins are being added without documentation in the tool as part of those submissions.

We need a mechanism allowing per-plugin help text which then automatically gets added to the on-line help.

The sooner we can do this, the fewer plugins we need to back-document at that point.

'wic help plugins' contains documentation for each plugin which is obtained from docstrings of plugin classes.
