Installing a new question type

Upon installing a new Activity module (aka plugin), Block or Filter, upon visiting the Notification page, one arrives on a Plugins check page with 3 tables, as described in the online notice:

The following tables show the modules, blocks and filters that have been detected in your current Moodle installation.

Any 3rd-party plugin shows in the appropriate table, with a "Non-standard" label in the Status column. That is quite helpful.

It's a pity that when installing a new question type nothing shows in those tables.

Yes, it is. In Moodle 2.0 there are about 30 different types of plugin, so to display them all would need a major redesign of that page. Obviously, this is not the appropriate forum to discuss improving the install system. I suggest the general developer forum.

and while we're at it, only a limited number of plugins actually appear in the 'plugins' part of the site administration. That is (in particular) you can't have settings pages and you can't delete them (a real pain when doing development work on one of these unloved plugins).

e.g. MDL-25762, but I think there's more than that,
