Actually, I think this also highlights the fact that even in English, these are rather awkward terms that might be too jargon-ish. Perhaps we should consider whether there would be better terminology we could use in English, too.

So what else could we call them? I wondered about "Menu Scripts" (because they're the ones that appear as menu commands) or perhaps "User Scripts" (because they're scripts intended to be run directly by the user). What do people think - would either of these be better? Any other suggestions?

"User Scripts" sounds best imo.

Why not just call it "Extensions"?

> "Hook:" - at the moment, I can't think of a term I prefer here; even if we changed "Hook Scripts" I think we could still refer to place where they're called as being a "hook". Something more verbose like "Attachment point" doesn't really improve things, in my opinion. But again, comments welcome.

"Hook" sounds a bit strange but I can't think of a better name as of now.
