Mark, what's the plan for this page? It does look different without the Orion banner.

The original plan was to replace this page with a prettier, more fully featured catalog of plugins, kind of like the Eclipse Marketplace. Unfortunately that hasn't happened (yet).

As for the way it currently looks: we can style it to look more like Orion, but some of these differences are significant: after all, this is an external site not tied to any particular Orion deployment. (Indeed, depending on your Orion deployment, some of the banner links may be different or missing, and the plugins page is unaware of all that.)

Maybe if, for now, you just add an Orion home page link at the top?
People can always type Alt+left arrow to go back (if they selected Get Plugins), but if they arrive at this page from somewhere external, they might want to jump to Orion?

Yes, we can do that. When a visitor arrives from from somewhere external (as opposed to clicking through) we won't know what Orion site they are associated with, but I can make the Orion link default to default to Orionhub.org.

Sounds good.
