Question

I don't know yet whether this is complete, but below is a patch that at least appears to get ContributorsPlugin working on 4.0.2. Prior to this it had fatal errors (was calling an object method as a function, etc).

Thanks Peter for contributing the patch. With some little more changes it will work on Cairo and Dakar, as described in HandlingCairoDakarPluginDifferences. I added a pointer to this topic in ContributorsPluginDev.
