since I cross posted to squeak-dev, vm-dev and pharo-dev (yes I know its bad)

Out of curiosity, why exactly is this bad? Isn't the open exchange of ideas a good thing?

Looking at the web page I think the distinction between "internal" and "external" plugins is superficial for most users. I'd rather distinguish between plugins that are "bundled" (come prebuilt with a VM download) and those that are not. Consequently I think I would change the format to be along the lines of, e.g.,

Plugin MacOS Windows Linux Source B2DPlugin (bundled) (bundled) (bundled) VMMaker DShowVDPlugin - download - ...

In other words, for the ones that aren't bundled we provide a link to a download location if there is one. Also, I think for some plugins (FT2Plugin for example) it would be worthwhile to let people know since when they have been bundled with the VMs otherwise they might expect that their 3.10.x VM includes it where really the support only started with 3.11.1.
