more meaningful columns

[WardCunningham]

We have trouble remembering where columns come from and what they suggest we do. Here we consider reorganizing them to be less encoded and more usefully mixed and matched.

column	show	source	details
status	traffic light	npmjs.org, etc	opens to action buttons
name	name	package json	view package.json & authors
menu	category	factory.json	factory.json
about	#pages	pages/	synopsis with links
service	#hdwmy	file time	lots of dates
bundled	range	wiki package.json	wiki package.json
installed	version	package.json	package.json & npmjs.org
published	version	npmjs.org	npmjs.org

If columns specified they will be shown.

if plugins specified but no columns then assume STATUS NAME INSTALLED PUBLISHED.

if nothing specified then assume NAME MENU ABOUT INSTALLED SERVICE

The traffic light color code.

• gray -- waiting or unknown
• red -- plugin not installed or less than wiki install
• yellow -- plugin properly installed but newer available
• green -- plugin is most recent available

The Plugmatic plugin is nearing completion. Markup configures rows and columns with useful defaults. The traffic-light status suggests when there is new software to install. Double-click to open the install dialog. Coming soon: click actually installs.
