From HandlingCairoDakarPluginDifferences and PluginsConformanceReport

> Can we collate a table of CommonlyAbusedCairoEntryPoints? so to aid people adjusting plugins. I'm thinking:

Cairo non-published method	conformance popularity	Purpose	Dakar equivalent
TWiki::Prefs::getPreferencesValue	10	Get preference values. Usually specifically for this plugin	TWiki::Func::getPluginPreferencesValue (most common), TWiki::Func::getPreferencesValue (less common). With older plugins the author may have parsed the topic themselves, leading to irregular behaviour
TWiki::securityFilter	9
TWiki::wikiName	7
TWiki::webName	7
TWiki::getEmailOfUser	7
TWiki::cmdQuote	6
TWiki::pubUrlPath	6
TWiki::sharedSandbox	6
TWiki::sharedSandbox	6
TWiki::handleIncludeFile	5
TWiki::normalizeFileName	5
TWiki::Form	5
TWiki::userToWikiName	5
TWiki::normalizeFileName	5
TWiki::RELEASE	5

This comes from 27 Jan 2006 conformance report. We should:

Understand why people needed to use that non-published function
Recommend the alternative for Dakar

Of course, instead of tabulating it here, bridging contribs could be written.

DakarOnCairoContrib? - could provide API wiring for DakarPlugins to work on Cairo
CairoOnDakarContrib? - could provide API wiring for CairoPlugins to work on Dakar

The purpose would be to help people move to Dakar whilst retaining the functionality that locks them on Cairo.
