I'd like the following things:

1. Detailed Tutorial on how we can customize Cotonti (I can participate here), maybe "Customization" category with many articles inside.

2. Detailed Tutorial about plugin development, a breakdown of:
- overall description on how plugins work (hooks, etc)
- plugin settings description
- plugin parts: a list of parts, what's this and how to use it.
- plugin rights
- how to make plugins with templates
- how to incorporate comments, rating system to plugins and also a textboxer (and captcha?).
- how to make "tools" (plugins that are in administration section)
- security advisories
- best ways to debug plugins

Not only this is interesting, but will encourage many new users to start writing plugins ^^

Hmm... so many people crying for documentation, so little of them giving actual requests? Strange.

Hi again,

Now I noticed that there's something like "custom rights" in Admin area! Wow!... I'd like to know its uses. Can they be programmed by a plugin and used through the site? I'd like a sample tutorial for setuping a simple permission through this system.
