These plugins should be configurable by the (remote) settings file in a save way.

So the service provider adds a whitelist of allowed plugins. Then in the settings file one could choose among these options.

We can download all plugins from dhtmlx. I thought, we do it like this:

big list of plugins
each plug-in has a link to its documentation

Code: https://github.com/niccokunzmann/open-web-calendar/blob/master/templates/calendars/dhtmlx.html#L10

Note: Some plugins are not useful like recurring which requires API changes and do not just provide user options.
