Maybe I picked it up wrong or it means different things depending what community your in but I would interpret it to be considered the extension of existing functions/functionality to allow new options or features.

Please correct me if I'm wrong in the sense of SMF :)

Illori:
we mean the already built in hooks, that mod authors can use when creating mods.

in general, in every possible way, in every possible approach.

An example, some of us are thinking in hooks having its own table.
find a better way to handle hooks on uninstall/upgrading
finding a solution on the current system where you load a file everytime.

things like that.

Oh.... so not only the core hook functions, but also the package manager.


Perhaps, in package-info, blocks could be used for hooks, like

<install>
    <hook point="pre_load">my_plugin</hook>
</install>

Same for uninstall.

I saw Sinan mention he wanted hooks to also call files. I'd say to do it. Then such pseudo-hooks could be removed like admin_include, pre_include,  theme_include.

I don't know about hooks living in their own table. Where they are seems fine to me. They could even be a serialized array instead of CSV which could also help in storing multiple values such as file, class, function.

I remember hearing that Matt put a mod with tons of hooks for the core on the team boards before he left. In anticipation of that, I did not suggest any new hooks (even when Norv asked me to :P)

Suki:
Yes there is some ideas as to provide another tag for hooks.

Yes all the hooks SD left are now on 2.1

I will vote for having a separate table for hooks, settings is already too bloated IMO, plus it will make handling hooks a little better.

We also discuss about having an admin page where you can enable/disable or otherwise administrate hooks

Bugo:
integrate_message (Display.php)
integrate_member_data (Load.php)
integrate_attachments (Display.template.php)
integrate_message_buttons (Display.template.php)
