Comment (by DrewAPicture):

 This morning I was thinking a little bit about the changes to the 'Adding
 Plugins' tab I proposed yesterday. And I and have made some adjustments in
 [attachment:28654.3.diff]. I've split the 'Adding Plugins' tab in two,
 creating a 'Browsing Plugins' tab more focused on browsing, and in-turn
 better focusing 'Adding Plugins' on adding/installing.

 Content for the Install Plugins screen:

 '''Tab: Overview:'''

 Plugins hook into WordPress to extend its functionality with custom
 features. They are developed independently from the core WordPress
 application by thousands of developers all over the world.

 All plugins in the official [https://wordpress.org/plugins/ WordPress.org
 Plugin Directory] are compatible with the license WordPress uses.

 You can find new plugins to install by searching or browsing the Directory
 right here in your own Plugins section.

 '''Tab: Browsing Plugins:'''

 If you know what plugin you’re looking for, using the Search Plugins box
 is your best bet. Or, if you just want to get an idea of what’s available,
 you can browse Featured, Popular, and Newest plugins by using the links in
 the upper left of the screen. These sections rotate regularly.

 You can also browse a user’s favorite plugins, by using the Favorites link
 in the upper left of the screen and entering their WordPress.org username.

 ''(conditionally displayed)''
 If you’re running the Beta Tester plugin or a development version of
 WordPress, the Beta Testing link in the upper left of the screen provides
 quick access to plugins you might find useful.

 '''Tab: Adding Plugins:'''

 There are a variety of ways to install plugins from within WordPress:

 * '''Click the Install Now button''' to install a plugin from the cards
 list.
 * '''Click the More Details link''' in the upper right of a plugin card to
 launch a popup with extended information and reviews.
 * To install a plugin that you’ve downloaded elsewhere, '''click the
 Upload Plugin button''' in the upper left of the screen, then follow the
 directions to upload the plugin’s .zip file.
