Right now GNU social has the following built-in plugins: https://notabug.org/diogo/gnu-social/src/new_modules_system/plugins
We need to build a list of `buggy plugins`, `useless plugins`, [plugins that should be enabled by default](https://notabug.org/diogo/gnu-social/src/new_modules_system/lib/default.php#L340-L361) and `good plugins`.
Feedback from sysadmins is appreciated.
WikiHowProfile - Unknown to me. No instructions in README to activate it, and doesn't seem activated by default. There is also a "WikiHashtags", which does nothing, as far as i can see.
TightUrl - Unknown to me. I've always used the internal url shorthener, which works fine.
SphinxSearch - Unknown to me. It claims to be "a significant boost in performance to search...". I'm happy with the default search speed, but i understand if someone wants it.
Sitemap - Unknown to me. Can't see the usefulness...
SimpleUrl - Unknown to me. Seems to do the same as TightUrl.
PtitUrl - Unknown to me, and seems to do the same as TightUrl and SimpleUrl
PiwikAnalytics - Unknown to me. I'm not interested in analytics, but i understand if someone wants it.
LdapAuthentication, LdapAuthorization and LdapCommon - Unkown to me; i don't use Ldap, so i can't test them, but i think they can be useful on a server with more things appart from GS (xmpp, nextcloud, etc).
GroupPrivateMessage - Unknown to me; i don't know if it is useful, as you can share status with groups, and don't know about the "private" part. I guess it could be useful just for the users on the same server.
GroupFavorited - Unknown to me; can't find anything after activation.
I'll add more tomorrow.

- PiwikAnalytics - Unknown to me. I'm not interested in analytics, but i understand if someone wants it.
- OpenX - Unkown to me, and the site http://www.openx.org/ can't be reached...
- OfflineBackup - I enabled it some weeks ago, but can't find anything in control panel. Maybe it is still retrieving data, or maybe it doesn't work.
- Mollon - Unkown to me; i really don't like to rely on external servers to look for spam.
- ModLog - Unkown to me; can't see anything after enabling it.
- ModHelper - Unkown to me; it seems useful, but not on my instance (only two users).
- Mobile - Unknown to me; i guess it is for smartphones, so i can't try it.
- MentionURL - Unkown to me; i guess it is not in the default setup, but this funcionality works fine. So, i don't know if this plugin is useful.
- Memcached - I've tried it several times, but it created an issue - https://git.gnu.io/gnu/gnu-social/issues/342
- Memcache - Same as Memcached.
- Mapstraction - Unkown to me; doesn't seem useful.
- LdapAuthentication, LdapAuthorization and LdapCommon - Unkown to me; i don't use Ldap, so i can't test them, but i think they can be useful on a server with more things appart from GS (xmpp, nextcloud, etc).

First chunk to review
I'll add more tomorrow.
@tenma, DirectMessage either can be removed or requires a considerable upgrade... GroupPrivateMessage can be deleted
Just finished reviewing the first chunk of plugins
Second (and last) chunk to review:
@aab reported that ModePlus and InfiniteScroll are now broken
And now they are working again.
