+Default Features Plugin
+
+This plugin allows the site admin to choose which Additional Features
+ are on by default for newly created users on the site. The defaults 
+ apply to all new users upon registration, but do not impact a user's
+ ability to turn features on/off once their account has been created.
+These default settings do not impact existing users.
