Proposed modifications to the JSON

[juancarlospaco]

Add 3 fields to the JSON:

"email": "juan@example.com",
"monetization": "https://liberapay.org/someuser",
"minimumVersion": "5.0.0",

• Optional, "email" and "monetization" can be empty string, but all Plugins must have it.
• With Mail we can have a Talk to the Developer button.
• With Mail we can have a Developer Avatars (via Libravatar), companies love to put their Logo in.
• Monetization can be a Donate, Subscribe or Buy link, (BTC, Liberapay, Patreon, etc) 100% up to the Plugin developer.
• Minimum NimWC Version: https://github.com/ThomasTJdev/nim_websitecreator/pull/63#issuecomment-469855846
• "minimumVersion" must Not be empty string, its an error.
• "minimumVersion" must be set to current Version by default by the Skeleton Creator, user can edit it.
• Mail is rendered always as a vanilla link, so it can be an HTTP link too (Slack, etc), but mail is recommended, 100% up to the Plugin developer.

Success histories:

• See VSCode Plugins have Avatars and Monetization builtin.

Extras:

• From https://github.com/ThomasTJdev/nim_websitecreator/pull/63 Plugin Descriptions on the JSON can be MarkDown/RST or Plain Text.

Yes please ;)

1) The word "monetization" sounds a little intrusive to me, do we have another word? I'm not a native English speaker, so maybe it's just me..

2) Skeleton Creator needs to be updated, to ask the user all the questions, automatic insert current installed NimWC version (if it's a bin) and create the plugin local plugin.json file. Skeleton porc, pluginSkeleton should be moved to a module instead of being in nimwc.nim

I neither like "monetization" nor "minimumVersion" I would love something shorter and better, but I can not think of something better that dont lose meaning. What do you think of:

"minimumVersion" :arrow_right: "requires" :grey_question: "monetization" :arrow_right: "sustainability" :grey_question:

"email": "juan@example.com",
"sustainability": "https://liberapay.org/someuser",
"requires": "5.0.0",

Going with "requires" and "sustainability" soon if theres no better alternative.
