[QUOTE="JDWestoby, post: 375125, member: 72093"] Whilst reading through the plugins forum, I noticed time and again that people asked for the complete lists of what was around. I also noticed a lot of 'how do I do', 'where do I find' type of messages. As I was looking to see what plugins were around this 'muddied the waters' and made actually finding out what was around much harder. I realise that keeping a list of plugins is - a) almost impossible and b) a thankless task, but surely it would be possible to have a sticky thread at the top of the forum where anyone who has written a plugin can post a message and update it for new versions etc. It would be a single port of call (and I DO realise that there is a repository but I wasn't sure when my plugin was uploaded - or even if it was!) and easy for anyone to browse I also considered that what I could have done with was a working plugin that I could strip and mangle to my own ends. I'd be quite prepared to gut the one I did (VB & C# for comparison). Just a thought and I do understand that anything I suggest means work for someone... (sorry). [/QUOTE]
