MolFeat plugin registry

This document explains how to officially register a plugin in MolFeat.

The MolFeat plugin registry aims to be the home for all publicly available MolFeat plugins. It collects information on the type of plugins provided by your package, which MolFeat versions it is compatible with, etc.

If you are starting to develop a new plugin or if you already have one, please register it here. We strongly encourage to register at early stages of development, both to reserve the name of your plugin and to inform the community of your ongoing work.
