Documentation: Plugin Lifecycle

[ubmarco]

I stumbled upon the passage Plugin dependencies in plugins.rst. The following topics could make use of a more detailed documentation:

• Plugin lifecylce
  1. Plugin as class in my_app.plugins.classes
     • registered via package entry points 'groundwork.plugin'
     • registered via my_app.plugins.classes.register([AnotherPlugin])
  2. Plugin after instantiation in my_app.plugins
  3. Plugin after activation
  4. Plugin after deactivation
  5. Plugin after re-activation
• Plugins that may be instantiated several times
  • same class name
  • different self.name via name parameter of init routine
• Plugin class name vs. Plugin self.name vs. Package name vs. Package entry point name
  • Where are they stored in groundwork
  • When are they relevant?
  • What are best practices?
