 ## Development Notes
 
 The script `generate.py` will generate a file called `plugins.json`, which contains metadata about all the plugins in this repository. `plugins.json` is used by [picard-website](https://github.com/musicbrainz/picard-website) and Picard itself to display information about downloadable plugins.
