[Remix] Solidity Snippet plugin

Solidity Snippet

(subject to change)

See https://github.com/ethberlin-hackathon/ETHBerlin-Teambuilding/blob/master/RemixHackathon.md for more info about the Remix hackathon. Please be sure to read it before starting.
Some infos about Remix: https://remix.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
Online version: http://remix.ethereum.org

We've been releasing an API (available in http://remix-alpha.ethereum.org) which allows developing plugin for Remix. (See https://github.com/ethereum/remix/blob/master/docs/remix_plugin.md and https://github.com/ethereum/remix/blob/master/docs/remix_plugin_api.md) Checkout https://remix-alpha.ethereum.org / settings tab / Oraclize for a live example.

This issue is specifically about developing a ethpm Plugin.

This is an open subject, we want to make Remix and Truffle working better together. Some proposition might be added, but we are looking forward to your proposals.

Proposal for implementation

The implementation is fairly open and this probably needs more specification. Here are some insights: It is very often that users require to import codes of entire contract, or simply some secure and audited code snippet. Having a plugin for importing such a thing will:

save time (not having to code or to look for the right implementation online)
be sure to have "safe to use" code.

This plugin could list a bunch already audited (or at least sure) contracts and/or code snippet and propose to use them in Remix (either by injecting an import statement in solidity, or by directly copying the contract code in a new solidity file).

Here is a list of possible source:
