11295	No way of automatic check of plugins	StefanB	team	"Our import process requires opendata plugin. If user doesn't have it (forgot to install, overlooked the instructions...) he is faced with a cryptic message:
{{{
Remote control has been asked to import data from the following url: .... Do you want to allow this?
}}}
but even after allowing it nothing happens.

It would be nice to have a way to check for a certain plugin via remote control.
a call to
{{{
/require?plugin=opendata&versionMin=1234
}}}
could prompt user to install/update the plugin if it is missing or too old.

Is there some other existing way to help users to install a certain (set of) plugin(s), or check them at least?

This can be implemented either in RemoteControl (more general) or OpenData plugin (just for this case).
