Core plugin refactoring

Core plugin refactoring

Just something i was thinking about as i follow pbworks quite alot and
had noticed alot of new plugins getting alot of attention
( validation, menu etc). But i also noticed the core plugins (orginal
ones) such as datepicker, selectables haven't been visited in a while
so was just wondering when the refactor is going to happen to those
and whether they'll be skipped in the next major version and whether
other new plugins would be implemented. Personally i think more
attention should be spent on the orginal plugins and on their
refactoring and updating them. I would have liked this to happen for
1.8 but i don't see this happening so it'll probably 1.9/2.0 now? some
plugins were refactored and updated for 1.8 but not all the original
plugins.
Also might be nice if you could update the projects on pbworks to
include a timeline of some sort (what version your aiming for etc) to
make it clearer.
