Description

From Jeremy Crabtree's comments in the Moodle forums: "I think it would help people form a more accurate mental model of plugin installation and removal if there were a better defined, explicit interface for installing and uninstalling plugins, modules, blocks, etc."

During the upgrade to v1.9, there is a plugins table that lists all the standard and non-standard plugins on the system. Perhaps this table could be extended to include install/upgrade/uninstall links, then accessible via a link in the Admin tools.

Hmm, where could we put this:

Admin -> Modules -> Manage Modules ?

Admin-> Upgrades ?

Given the choices, I think the former. If you have

Admin -> Upgrades

people might assume it's Moodle system upgrades. So maybe both exist:

Admin -> Modules -> Manage Modules

Admin -> System Upgrades
