+Extensions - adding capabilities to your tracker
+================================================
+.. _extensions:
+
+While detectors_ add new behavior by reacting to changes in tracked
+objects, `extensions` add new actions and utilities to Roundup, which
+are mostly used to enhance web interface.
+
+You can create an extension by creating Python file in your tracker
+``extensions`` directory.  All files from this dir are loaded when
+tracker instance is created, at which point it calls ``init(instance)``
+from each file supplying itself as a first argument.
+
+Note that at this point web interface is not loaded, but extensions still
+can register actions for in tracker instance. This may be fixed in
+Roundup 1.6 by introducing ``init_web(client)`` callback or a more
+flexible extension point mechanism.
+
+
+  * ``instance.registerUtil`` is used for adding `templating utilities`_
+    (see `adding a time log to your issues`_ for an example)
+
+  * ``instance.registerAction`` is used to add more actions to instance
+    and to web interface. See `Defining new web actions`_ for details.
+    Generic action can be added by inheriting from ``action.Action``
+    instead of ``cgi.action.Action``.
