I couldn't resist any longer. Please try out the following cookiecutter if you're in the mood to create a plugin. I modified the content of the nf-hello example. However, I did not add any of the test files since I removed most of the functionality. If you think I should add any tests please let me know. And, of course, any general feedback is welcome, too.
