Yes, they are (it even says so on the wiki). I wouldn't use the
Universal Toolkit any more - it even requires register_globals to be
"on", at least for some things.

If you're looking for a current plugin template, take one of the bundled
plugins or try the Plugin Generator.

Of course we would welcome any help in updating them :)

My suggestions would be to get a wiki account and start doing it. There
are some hints buried on the various wiki pages pointing out that the
information is outdated and where to find more current information
(usually in lib-plugins.php). Incorporating that information would be a
good start. It may sometimes require a rewrite of an entire page, but
that shouldn't stop anyone.

As usual, documentation is the part that nobody really wants to do. So
any help there is greatly appreciated.

bye, Dirk
