Criteria for Support Level

[GoogleCodeExporter]

For the developers of the Zen Coding plugin and those of us trying to
implement it in various applications, it would be helpful to have a list of
criteria for determining the level of support the plugin offers. On the
front page there's 3 levels listed; Basic, Partial, and Full support. What
I'm curious about, is what criteria are used to determine which level a
implementation will be placed under? I do see the Partial support says,
("Expand Abbreviation" only) and the Basic says (no abbreviation expanding,
editor's snippets only), but is that all?

If that is the case I think the BBEdit/TextWrangler would be better suited
under the full support listing since it offers abbreviation expansion and
supports snippets along with features like Balancing that the editor
already supports. Having a list of criteria also helps us developers see
what features we have and haven't implemented for a particular piece of
software. If some type of wiki page could be put together that more
concretely list these feature criteria it would be very helpful. Thanks.

I'm working on it as a part of 0.6 branch. Basically, you have to implement Zen 
Editor interface for your editor 
in order to create a new plugin for it. Then you simply call predefined Zen 
Actions, passing Zen Editor 
instance as an argument. 

See
http://code.google.com/p/zen-coding/source/browse/branches/v0.6/python/zencoding
/zen_editor.py
http://code.google.com/p/zen-coding/source/browse/branches/v0.6/python/zencoding
/zen_actions.py

The first available Python implementation of new interface is available for 
TextMate plugin: 
http://code.google.com/p/zen-
coding/source/browse/branches/v0.6/#v0.6/plugins/TextMate/Zen%20Coding.tmbundle/
Support

I need to write a HOWTO for about ZC plugins
