      I am getting ready to release my first serious plugin. Which plugins should I look at for best practices in the finished package (use of subdirs for files, documentation, ...)?

        Most plugins use the same convention - for a loading ruby and accompanying folder with support files zipped.

        The only variation is some of the commercial packages comes with installers so users don't have to locate the SU plugins folder. But then you need to make an installer for each OS.

        As for documentation - Fredo is a good example of well documented plugins.
