it's the place :)

support for plugins are at an early stage. we can think to implement a
page in admin panel to manage them (enable / disable) and to expose
a list of settings declared by the plugin itself (a map like name:type,
in your case would be something like channel:string).
but I really don't want the plugins to become a catch-all thing (I'm
thinking at wordpress theme for example!!).

this is on your own. you can create your own sqlite db in this case.

this could be easily implemented
