i.e. must a plugin return an exit code? How much output text is appropriate? Performance considerations? Security considerations? Anything else before unleashing my plugin on someone else's production systems?:-D), style considerations, documentation, versioning, revision control, licensing, etc. Do such guidelines / conventions exist?
