Plugin System
=============
Koha's Plugin System allows for you to add additional tools and reports
to Koha that are specific to your library. Plugins are installed by
uploading KPZ ( Koha Plugin Zip ) packages. A KPZ file is just a zip
file containing the perl files, template files, and any other files
necessary to make the plugin work.
The plugin system needs to be turned on by a system administrator.
