This could stand to be improved.  In particular it would be good if it 
instantiated a new page/widget each time rather than using one that can 
only be rendered once.  But it should be a fairly concise example of the 
basics.

Assuming you mean 
http://twistedmatrix.com/projects/core/documentation/howto/tutorial/configuration.html

"plugins.tml" is a dead giveaway that it's the bad, old one.  That 
document should probably just be deleted.  The new, good plugin system 
is documented here:

and here:

Good luck :).
