Hi, Carl

I installed the Flickr plugin on 0.7.5.1, added a collection via  
Plugins > Flickr > Create new Flickr Collection by Owner ... , and  
everything worked fine. So, I'm not sure what's going on there: with  
more information (e.g. an excerpt from the log file with the actual  
error message, or more specific steps), I should be able to figure out  
more.

In general, so far as plugins go, we do try them from time to time,  
but they're mostly for demo purposes, and we don't have the QA  
resources to validate them. The one that's documented the most is the  
feeds plugin (covered in the tutorial), although it doesn't seem to be  
downloading feeds in 0.7.5.1 :(.
