Description

Closes #279

Author's checklist

  • I have read the contributing guidelines and my pull request follows them.
  • my commits tend to comply with Conventional Commits; so they are descriptive and explain the rationale for changes. Messages and description are self-explanatory to make the git log a readable story of the project.
  • I have added tests that prove my fix is effective or that my feature works.
  • I have added necessary documentation (if appropriate).
  • commits which fix bugs include Fixes #11111 at the bottom of the commit message.

Tip

If you forgot to do this, don't be shy and write the same statement into this text field with the pull request description.

AI tool usage

  • AI tool(s) (Copilot, Claude, or something similar) supported my development of this PR. See our policy about AI tool use. Use of AI tools must be indicated. Failure to be honest might result in banning.

Reviewer's checklist

  • I remember to check the "Author's checklist" above and ask the author to update the PR description if any of the items are not checked.
  • I remember that welcoming new contributors is more important than nitpicking on code style. I will be kind and respectful in my review comments.

Things to be explicit about:

  • License allowed: GPL, AGPL. BSD, MIT? which ones
  • Embedded binaries
  • Cross platform requirements
  • Advertising
  • Language(s) - I think metadata should at least be in English
  • Dependency management
  • Our ability to ban plugins
  • Dispute procedure
  • Renaming plugins
  • Code of conduct
  • Politics / contentious topics
