Ann's note: the formatting below is weird. Did you copy and paste from an email message?

If you look at the Plug-ins tab, you will see the Bundle-SymbolicName under the Name column, the Bundle-Description under the Description column, and the Bundle-Version under the Version column. If the Bundle-DocURL is there, the Name cell will have a blue info icon that links to this URL.

Ann's note: Please add a tutorial explaining how to develop a simple plug-in. Your graph plug-in is probably a good place to start. We need a very simple but cool example that relies on a stable part of the API so that the tutorial doesn't get out of date.)
