It'd be great if workfront added Plugins so we could alter the front end of workfront without having to make things like chrome extensions to modify workfront's look. This along with the workfront API allows you to do almost whatever you want without having to wait for workfront to fix things.

The plugins would be able to inject javascript / html on whatever pages they wanted to via some sort of injection points defined by workfront.

Derek, I'm a big fan of what you're saying: allowing third-party developers to inject content directly into Workfront. Currentlyl, this is only possible via external pages under custom tabs. I wish WF would make it possible to inject content anywhere within WF. I think WF could provide for this one of two ways:

#1 - Additional iframe areas - Add a custom form "field" that's really an iframe. For example, an admin could add an "External Page" with parameters to any form under Setup. Then WF loads the iframe anywhere the form loads: under the request queue or on the details page.

#2 - Inject HTML / Javascript directly onto the page. I really like this approach. This provides the greatest power and flexibility to developers. Maintenance could be an issue if WF unless WF locks down it's DOM.
