Is the intent that the same plugins and stacks from Marketplace will run on Elements when its released?
Thank you
No, developers will need to port their stacks etc.

Just to follow up on what @upssjw said, here’s a few excerpts from the Elements FAQ that seem relevant.
Q: Will my existing RapidWeaver themes be compatible?
RapidWeaver Elements will probably not support Classic legacy themes at this point. It’s been a tough decision to make, but ultimately we think Elements will be a much better product if we build it for the future.
Elements will support new style themes that are more modern, and work in a totally different way to Classic themes. We’ll be sharing more information on this as we move closer to launch.
Q: Are stacks compatible with RapidWeaver Elements?
No, stacks are not compatible and cannot be used in RapidWeaver Elements.
However, we have a created a tool that allows developers to port their stacks into the native Elements language, this will get them about 90% of the way to supporting Elements. We anticipate some developers will update and improve their stacks so they run as native Elements.
Hope that helps!
