| FlorianSimatos | 5 | 4 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | & | yes | no | There are some issues with the choice of the style (namely, in a form or when you want to use the select option), but these were very rapidly solved. I hope these modifications will be integrated in the next release? | |

| RichardFreytag | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 6 | yes | yes | Clean extensible design that did not surprise the non-wiki-er while still keeping the wiki features read-to-hand. | |

| HaraldJoerg | 5 | 4 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 5 | 1 | no | no | Not easy to get started with, but once you've used it to upload from SVN to twiki.org you'll start loving it  | |

| CacheAddOnAppraisal | |||||||||||
| JacekZapotoczny | 5 | 3 | 2 | 4 | 3 | 4 | 2 | yes | no | W/o this plugin our TWiki was awfully slow. Thanks for it, though there is stil space for improvement (see TWikiCacheAddOn ). | |
| KeithEdmunds | 5 | 4 | 2 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 1 | no | no | We have to disable this to allow logins. Once a user is authenticated, we can re-enable it. | |

| AntonAylward | 3 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 3 | no | no | This should be a key component but is severely lacking in quality. | |
| BartLouwagie | 5 | 3 | 3 | 2 | 4 | 1 | no | no | These CPAN plugins that are needed make it impossible, since their install is not explained - (not this plugin's fault - see CpanReadme -- MC) | ||
| SueLocke | 5 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 1 | no | no | An essential plugin that has been completely frustrating to install until PT advised me to install an earlier plugin. Now that works - but why I don't know. The layout of the example on the documentation is especially confusing. | |
| OleCMeldahl | 5 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 4 | 1 | 1 | no | no | ||
| BruceDawson | 4 | 4 | 3 | 3 | 4 | 2 | 3 | no | no | No problems on 2 installations. Lots of perl problems on the last installation. | |
| JamesWestby | 5 | 4 | 4 | 2 | 4 | 2 | 1 | no | no | ||
| JacekZapotoczny | 4 | 2 | 4 | 3 | 3 | 2 | 2 | no | no | Installation description can be shorter and clearer. | |
| FredMorris | 4 | 4 | 3 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 1 | no | no | I did change the plugin source, but not to get it working. See CalendarPluginDev. | |
| DanielBosold | 5 | 4 | 3 | 4 | 4 | 5 | 2 | no | no | installation was simple as with most plugins. nice functionality | |
| StephanMatthiesen | 5 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 2 | 4 | 1 | no | no | Important plugin, but essential features missing. Should have buttons to navigate to different months (there is a working example in CalendarPluginDev!) and option to show events as (clickable) symbols or colours rather than text links. | |

| AdamClarke | 4 | 4 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 5 | 1 | no | no | ||
| MartinSeibert | 5 | 4 | 3 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 8 | no | no | This is one of the most valuable Plugins in TWiki. Just compare it to Confluence Chart Plugin and you will see how "lame" other solutions are. | |

| CommentPluginAppraisal | |||||||||||
| MartinCleaver | 5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 7 | no | no | Great for questionnaires. Only bad thing is that it fails to leave a message on FAILEDPLUGINS if its dependencies aren't satisfied. But this plugin is definitely a must have. | |
| CrawfordCurrie | 5 | 3 | 4 | 4 | 5 | 5 | 12 | no | no | Since I wrote most of this latest version I really ought to disqualify myself  | |
| AntonAylward | 5 | 5 | 5 | 3 | 3 | 4 | 3 | no | no | This should be part of the baseline distribution. Martin's 'noform' patch is great and there are a lot of thigns it should be retrofitted to. | |
| RafaelAlvarez | 5 | 3 | 4 | 4 | 3 | 4 | 1 | no | no | Very, very good for quick commenting | |
| RonBell | 5 | 4 | 4 | 3 | 4 | 3 | 1 | no | no | One of my favorite plug-ins. Easy to understand, easy to use. | |
| CommonHeaderFooterPluginAppraisal | |||||||||||
| CompareRevisionsAddOnAppraisal | |||||||||||
| MichaelSchmidt | 5 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 1 | no | yes | Made an appropriate extension in the oopsmore.tml template in order to make using this funtionality easy. | |
| KennethLavrsen | 5 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 2 | no | no | Would love this to work on Dakar. This addon is a major improvement to the normal diff. I think few knows how nice this is | |
| JosMaccabiani | 5 | 4 | 4 | 5 | 4 | 4 | 1 | no | no | Works like a charm on TWiki 4.01. Thanks for a great Plugin. | |

| DavidGerisch | 4 | 3 | 3 | 2 | 3 | 1 | no | no | Couldn't get it to work, it is dependent on CPAN DBI, which won't install. Pretty much a deal breaker for me - the possibility of database updates was pretty much the only reason I put up with the hassles of installing TWiki. | ||
| TimJacob | 5 | 3 | 3 | 2 | 2 | 4 | 1 | no | no | Did get it to work, but documentation was sparse. Use it fairly heavily, but can't do database updates from within Twiki - wish I could. I keep checking back for updates | |

| MagnusLewisSmith | 5 | 4 | 2 | 4 | 5 | 5 | 1 | yes | no | An excellent and useful utility, but slightly flawed in it's CMAP functionality | |
| PatrickValsecchi | 5 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 5 | 2 | yes | no | Maybe need some code to clean up old PNG. If you modify the graph too often, you have lots of attachments. | |

| StephanMatthiesen | 5 | 4 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 5 | 1 | no | no | It should clean up old PNGs and only keep the current one. | |
