<!-- Discussion goes here-->

- `napari_get_writer` currently returns a function. does anything about npe2 allow us to skip straight to the "returned" function?

change the command "id" from `command` to `id`.

iter_compatible_writer :

return a pair of commands and callable.

Manifest:
- why is it "contributes" and not "contributions" ????

Write:
- List of layers,
- Maybe an extension

When looking for writer plugin what shoudl we look for:
- Subset fo layer types.
- Or all of these types.
-

General question: How do we support streaming interfaces? Do plugin devs have to declare that they do/don't support streams in addition to paths? Is this something that we do *for* them (i.e. convert between stream to tempfile) or do we provide examples on how to do it.

## Next steps
<!-- Action items go here -->
- [ ] Make an npe2 issue around api version declaration
## Notes
<!-- Other important details discussed during the meeting can be entered here. -->

- [x] After the meeting add the minutes to the 'working-group/plugins' folder of [napari/meeting-notes](https://github.com/napari/meeting-notes).
