Plugin catalogue

The plugins of this repository, generated from their READMEs and changelogs (see docs/hooks.py); the latest release is the topmost version in a plugin's CHANGELOG.md. Each links to its README, with its settings, parameters, phases and data transfers. The groups and subgroups are described in plugins/README.md.

Plugin ID	Distribution	Latest release	Summary
generic.example.noop	foca-plugin-generic-example-noop	never	Example plugin that changes nothing: it leaves inbound requests and the candidate backends as they are and records what it saw. It is the template of new plugins (python scripts/new_plugin.py <group> <subgroup> <name>) and is not published.
generic.routing.random	foca-plugin-generic-routing-random	0.1.3	Routes requests to the candidate backends in random order, so that they spread over all backends without round-robin state. The successor of proTES's random task distribution.
tes.routing.distance	foca-plugin-tes-routing-distance	0.1.3	Routes TES tasks to the backends closest to their input data: ranks the candidate backends by their distance to the locations of the task's inputs. Locations come from the backend list or from a local GeoIP database (offline, the default); online lookups are an explicit opt-in. The successor of proTES's distance-based task distribution.

Plugins of other repositories work the same way; they use IDs with a prefix of their own (see Writing a plugin).
