+    Guidelines and rules for plugins</h2>
+  <p>The following are guidelines and rules for writing plugins</p>
+  <ul>
+    <li>
+      Plugins will almost always implement the processCallbacks() function.  This function will be
+      called with an NDArray pointer each time an NDArray callback occurs.  This function will normally call
+      the NDPluginDriver::processCallbacks() base class function, which handles tasks common to all plugins, 
+      including callbacks with information about the array, etc.</li>
+    <li>
+      Plugins will generally implement one or more of the writeInt32(), writeFloat64() or writeOctet() functions
+      if they need to act immediately on a new value of a parameter.  For many parameters it is normally 
+      sufficient to simply have them written to the parameter library, and not to handle them in the 
+      writeXXX() functions.  The parameters are then retrieved from the parameter library with the getIntParam(),
+      getDoubleParam(), or getStringParam() function calls when they are needed.</li>
+    <li>
+      If the writeInt32(), writeFloat64() or writeOctet() functions are implemented they <b>must</b> call
+      the base class function for parameters that they do not handle and whose enum value is less than
+      the value of NDPluginDriverLastParam, i.e. parameters that belong to a base class.</li>
+    <li>
+      Plugins will need to implement the drvUserCreate() function if they have additional parameters beyond
+      those in the asynPortDriver or NDPluginDriver base classes.</li>
+    <li>
+      Plugins may <b>never</b> modify the NDArray that they receive in the processCallbacks() function.  The reason
+      is that other plugins may be concurrently operating on the same NDArray, since each is passed the same
+      pointer.  This means also that when getting the attributes for this plugin that 
+      asynNDArrayDriver::getAttributes(pArray->pAttributeList) must not be called with the NDArray passed to 
+      processCallbacks(), because that will modify the NDArray attribute list, and hence the NDArray that other
+      plugins are operating on. Plugins such as NDPluginROI and NDPluginColorConvert create new NDArrays via
+      NDArrayPool::copy() or NDArrayPool::convert() (which copy the attributes to the new array)
+      and then call getAttributes(pArray->pAttributeList) with the new array.  The NDPluginFile
+      makes a copy of the attribute list from the original NDArray before calling getAttributes(), but does not
+      need to make a copy of the NDArray because it does not modify it.</li>
+    <li>Plugins must release their mutex by calling this->unlock() when they do time-consuming operations.
+      If they do not then they will not be able to queue new NDArrays callbacks or obtain new parameter values.
+      Obviously they must mot access memory locations that other threads could modify during this time, so they should
+      only access local variables, not class variables (which includes the parameter library).</li>
+    <li>
+      If plugins generate new or modified NDArrays then they must call doCallbacksGenericPointer() 
+      so that registered clients can get the values of the new arrays.</li>
+  </ul>
