Do you have any other plugin installed via git?
No, only the etherpad itself gets installed via GIT and all other stuff via the plugin manager. Right now I try to figure out what plugins actually work as the plugin repo is a mass and many things not working or outdated or already integrated. This process will take probably still some days. Next step would be to set up an installation where all plugins work and against then all others could be tested. and for people interested then we have to set up a separate page which lists only the working plugins - which we can support in our sites which we set up - as otherwise it is getting a maintenance headache for us here. During that next step after testing each plugin we think also to check which functions actually could get gathered together at one place. and also we will look on how the plugins follow the same schemes as we found some i.e. workspaces - which have the templates at another place - so that we might try to correct than too.
You can only market a great product if you know what it can do and know how to maintain and to i.e. style it - there are a couple of plugins which would be much better with an icon i.e. all those dropdowns. The people using will be later children and students and people with nearly no it background so that simply has to be intuitive and simply working. I am sure we get there step by step as Etherpad is great! Especially with those workspaces - we only need to get those also working on a subfolder path - - many still have absolute links instead of relative links.
Concerning deinstallation i woudl suggest to implement a "blocker" so that if one plugin gets deinstalled no other activity (installation or deinstallation" takes place - I guess that this might be a problem when some plugins install to slow and another action already starts.
We wanted to deinstall the inline toolbar again as it is hiding all menu icons in the topbar, even those not available in the toolbar. But the deinstallation hang up with error - we had to delete and restart manually.
