I have been searching the internet and run across Jamie's "install plugins" web page. I think this is what I was looking for in the first question.
 
Thanks Jamie!

Subject: : v1.3 plugin installation

When clicking on the list of Volatility plugins, I go to
http://www.forensicswiki.org/wiki/List_of_Volatility_Plugins
From the web page
"Here is a list of the published plugins for the Volatility 1.3 framework"
 
I do not see any "installation instructions"
Do these plugins just get copied to  C:\Python27\Volatility-1.3_Beta\memory_plugins  ?
 
Also, is there a like page for v2.0 ?
 
 
From  http://code.google.com/p/volatility/wiki/FAQ#Where_do_I_find_the_"malware"_plugins there is a link to
http://malwarecookbook.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/malware.py
what Volatility version is the plugin for? I do not see Volatility version number in .py files so I get a little confused which is for which. Will plugins have "for Volaitility vX" in the future?
 
Maybe I'm just not getting it.
 
Sorry,
Mike
