Alan,

Great work!  I do hope more sites start offering Mycroft plugins for 
their users.

I think the subscription category is a good idea though.  It solves a 
large problem (how to designate) in a simple way.  The problem you 
describe is a tough one.  We would need to mark them all as beta, 
because we can not test them and that is not good.
