Just installed 9 with the extra plugins. I loved the extended archive plugin, and I'd like to make a suggestion for it: I always strive to keep my sidebar as sightly as possible, so how about making it possible to put a static link to the archive page from the bottom of the recent entries plug?
Actually I've just doctored my own recent-entries plug to contain just such a link, and I'm frequently messing around in other plugins as well to make adjustments. My suggestion may be completely ass backwards for all I know, but I'll make it anyway:
Would it at some point be possible to create plugins so that you could combine several into one header? That way it would be easy to achieve for example a html-link on the bottom of the recent entries plug, or a list of banners right below your linklist or even amazon recommendations and adsense ads under the same header.
The way I picture it in my mind is not so far from how it works today. You'd arrange your plugins like they are today arranged in the Admin area, but the Title-tag would only be inserted where you specify it, and with the title you specify.
Maybe it's just me that likes to not have to create a separate HTML-nugget for every little item I want in my sidebar... I dunno.

A suggestion, a request and then some.
Actually, I think you simply mean you want to have the full control of
what plug-ins get to have the headers show up. Obviously you don't need
to 'combine' the plug-ins to achieve this effect. Now, since the plug-in
writers don't necessarily program it this way (and being one of them, I
can understand why some of the headers are 'fixed' that way, really),
one way of getting around this would be to have some sort of a header
name override function.
