A `datasette_metadata` table or the `sqlite-docs` extension seem like two reasonable additions that we can work through. Storing metadata inside a SQLite database makes sense, but I don't think storing `datasette.*` style config (ex ports, settings, etc.) inside a SQLite DB makes sense, since it's very environment-dependent | { "total_count": 0, "+1": 0, "-1": 0, "laugh": 0, "hooray": 0, "confused": 0, "heart": 0, "rocket": 0, "eyes": 0 } |

Editing description of a table/column in a file like `datasette.*` seems odd to me. Though since plugin configuration currently lives in `metadata.json`, I think it should be removed from there and placed in `datasette.*`, at least for top-level config like `datasette-auth-github`'s config. Keeping `metadata.json` strictly for documentation/licensing/column units makes sense to me, but anything plugin related should be in some config file, like `datasette.*`. And ya, supporting both `datasette.*` and CLI flags makes a lot of sense to me. Any `--setting` flag should override anything in `datasette.*` for easier debugging, with possibly a warning message so people don't get confused. Same with `--port` and a port defined in `datasette.*` | { "total_count": 1, "+1": 1, "-1": 0, "laugh": 0, "hooray": 0, "confused": 0, "heart": 0, "rocket": 0, "eyes": 0 } |

I'm not keen on mixing in metadata as well - that feels like a different concept to me, and I'm unhappy with how that's already had things like plugin settings leak into it. I'm not yet sold on TOML - I actually find it less intuitive than YAML, surprisingly. They all have their warts I guess. Datasette already has the ability to consume JSON or YAML for metadata - maybe it could grow TOML support too? That way users could have a `datasette.json` or `datasette.yaml` or `datasette.toml` file depending on their preference. In terms of metadata: since that's means to be driven by a plugin hook anyway, maybe one of the potential sources of metadata is a `metadata` nested object in that `datasette.*` configuration file. Or you can have it in a separate `metadata.json` or bundled into the SQLite database or some other plugin-driven mechanism. | { "total_count": 0, "+1": 0, "-1": 0, "laugh": 0, "hooray": 0, "confused": 0, "heart": 0, "rocket": 0, "eyes": 0 } |
