## Agenda
- [x] script-based plugins.
- related: [#15482](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/15482)
- should they live in the main repo
- ~~they cannot be executed on Windows~~
`plugin add --shell <...>`
- do we want to make real packages for python and js?
- [x] `where` closure vs. row condition [#15467](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/15467)
- [x]

## Discussed Topics
- about script-based plugins
- create a new repo `plugin-examples` for plugin examples in any language
- add tests using nightly for it
- create hierarchy for each language
- move example plugins from main repo into it, leave core "actual" plugins in main repo
- packages are for another day
- Plugins that will remain in the core repo
- nu_plugin_formats
- nu_plugin_gstat
- nu_plugin_inc
- nu_plugin_polars
- nu_plugin_query
- nu_plugin_stress_internals
- we should investigate if we can deprecate `filter` if we can make everything work with `where`
- right now, only `filter` is able to use a variable with a closure
- it used to be not possible to merge this behavior completely into `where`

## Topics for next meeting
- [ ] how do we feel about renaming `$it` to `$in` for `where` condition
