Seeing that this is a forum build on an existing framework that takes in plugins I have decided to add questions one should ask when adding an externally implemented feature on the website. - Performance.if you had a chat plugin, would your server be able to handle the requests in total? How much polling is done? Is it ajax or non ajax based?
- Security.Does this plugin add a backdoor into people's emails and passwords(Could be very beneficial to hackers if someone used the same email/password combination for everything)
- Reliability.Has this plugin been tested? Will it break the rest of the forums if I integrate it into my forums?
- Availability. Always choose something that is already built, features are expensive to build and it is better to select something already build with these questions in mind obviously.
- Compatibility, In case of an upgrade, how much work would be needed to make sure the plugins and everything else are up to date? Will they break with the new features?
- Usability. Do We need the feature? Is it worth implementing or integrating?
If anyone else has more to add please do. Just wanted to start the conversation.
