 install is a potential feature. And if we're to use a similar design to
 replace WP_Plugins_List_Table for managing installed plugins, it'll need a
 bulk selection tool. Any suggestions for how that should look?

 Bulk actions are out of scope for this — let's discuss them separately.

 >  * The phrases "{Untested|Compatible|Incompatible} with your install"
 don't make sense. Need to mention something to do with the version.

 The version doesn't matter for a majority of users, who often don't know
 or care what version of WordPress they're using. What matters is knowing
 if the plugin is compatible with your particular install. However, I agree
 the phrasing is weird and maybe promises too much. We should try to find a
 better way to communicate the idea that the plugin should work with your
 version of WordPress.

 card-table-draft.6.diff 28785-plugin-card-table-draft.6.diff] (based on
 ryelle's 28785-plugin-card-table-draft.5-alt.diff) to also link the plugin
 title to open the details thickbox.

 > I was also finding that the "More details" link was now too subtle as a
 simple link, not a button, so having the title also linked to the same
 might alleviate some of that concern, without overloading the page with
 buttons, be they primary or secondary.

 Great idea! I think this is a good compromise between either doing
 primary/secondary or just secondary/link.

 > I was just testing the UX/UI, and while searching plugins, I do admit
 that, as michalzuber, I wished I had access to the "favorite" action in
 the card. My use case at the time: searching, wanted to favorite as a
 quick simili for a "shopping cart" or "to review" queue that I could
 review later.

 This is a good idea, but I think it's a workflow we should try to optimize
 at another time, since it will take additional thought and research into
 making it work well. For now, let's try to stay focused and in scope.
