    2. Checkboxes to include/exclude information from each plug-in, theme, or other source
    3. Checkboxes for boiler-plate language
    4. Ability to display the EU cookie warning
    5. Work with privacy NGOs (and government agencies?)
      1. Follow best practices
      2. Get “certified” as being super-awesome
      3. Participate in net-wide initiatives like the black-out day
  4. Colophon plug-in
    1. Ability to auto-list plug-ins
    2. Referral links
