+The core is pcb-rnd's core source code that lives in pcb-rnd svn, in +trunk/src. Maintained by the pcb-rnd team. +
+A plugin is a small portion of the code. +
+Core plugins are those plugins that are in pcb-rnd svn, +in trunk/src_plugins. Maintained by the pcb-rnd team. +
+External plugins are those plugins that are written, maintained +and hosted by developers not part of the pcb-rnd team. External plugins +are not hosted in the pcb-rnd svn and are not supported by the pcb-rnd team. +
+A core plugin can be disabled (not compiled at all), +static linked (builtin), or dynamically linked (plugin). This is +selected during pcb-rnd ./configure time. An external plugin is always dynamically +linked. + + +
