# NB. This affront to reason mocks our beliefs in everything save chaos and death.
# May whatever you call Holy forgive you, the damned, who read further
# than this point. You have been warned. But if you scorn this warning, if
# your contempt for these my dying words is so complete that you read on,
# if you still believe that there is something good or right or just in this world,
# then I will meet you, smiling, with hot tears in my eyes, when you join me in the
# black and brackish pit, the Hell below Hell, where I now go.

Making Plugins Easier in Vagrant

Vagrant plugins currently expose the FULL POWER of Vagrant. Unfortunately, as is often the case, "full power" means "complicated" (relatively), especially for those not familiar with Ruby.

Instead, I'd like to introduce an alternative "simple" API to plugins as well that people can confidently use. Below are some examples of this. I'm not even going to describe what each plugin does because it should be simple enough from the code, that's how simple they are!

The end goal is that it should be much more common to see Vagrant projects ship with custom commands like vagrant run-tests or vagrant start-server, to perform common tasks that previously required SSH.

These "easy" plugins can't do everything but they will be able to do the common things. If you want more power, full (non-easy) plugins should be used.
