Hi Michael, meta information is implemented in the new plugin system. The syntax is very simple, just put it at the beginning of the python file like this:
# License: BSD-2-Clause # Author: Your Name # Version: 1.0 ''' Plugin XYZ for PyMOL Here some more general description, link to PyMOLWiki page etc. ''' The hash commented block in the first lines is parsed and shown in a info box, which can be accessed from the plugin manager. Also on the PyMOLWiki we recently introduced a info-box template which has similar fields for meta information. Pages which use this template show a friendly readable box floating in the upper right corner of the page (example: http://pymolwiki.org/index.php/Uniprot_features ).
