@Emily: In terms of outcomes I was thinking more along the lines of some
GitHub repos and something for collaborative docs, like a GitHub wiki or
Google Docs. AGist with a list of useful repos will do just fine.

If we are talking about a set of _curated_ community plugins, Github (or any
of umpteen git platforms) would be fine. A Springshare person and/or
designated community persons could control the repos, approving pull
requests and managing releases and all that. A new release would be sent to

So, I've been scratching my chin, empathizing with the smallness of
Springshare's team, their large userbase, and the many demands they have to
prioritize over those of a few of us power admins. I think we could still
develop a system for creating community plugins without the springies needing

I also think all of these ideas are awesome. The idea of a third-party
space, or even someplace sponsored by springshare, to share customizations
etc. could help so many of us. Even short of developing a plug-in system,
having someplace to share template customizations, CSS, etc. would be HUGE.

whether they are authorized strings or not, but I'm drawing a blank about how

developing named entity recognition scripts for personal and corporate

Hello,
It's always painful to see other library's lib guides when they don't follow a
style guide. I always thought that Librarians have the infrastructure and
theory to really help standardize information professions. Imagine if an MSLIS
was a requirement for Web Admin and Website creator
I found the WorldCat Identities API useful for an institution name
disambiguation project that I worked on a few years ago, though my goal wasn't
to confirm whether names mapped to LCNAF. The API response includes a LCCN,
and you can set it to fuzzy or exact matching, but you would need to
