hi, Before I get to the contrib addons list for release consideration, I would like to mention that it would not be hard to trim the lesser addons from contrib & enable contrib for release. Most users know of contrib addons & have trouble to install them in official builds. Users are & can be made aware or reminded that contrib addons are 'experimental' as they already are with the "Testing" button to view contrib addons in the addons menu/s. Not all contrib addons are suitable for release & i have been working hard towards cleaning up contrib & preparing many addons for release. This can be seen in the "Tools" where I group similar addons with the goal of easing the amount of small similar function addons into menu's. This works well in reducing the volume of addons & eases the menu bloat & helps users save time.

Known issues: needs code tips translated, may not use latest function calls btrace https://svn.blender.org/svnroot/bf-extensions/contrib/py/scripts/addons/btrace/__init__.py Maintainers: Crazycourier, Liero Status: Stable & working for many releases Known issues: has been code reviewed & may not use the best methods/function calls mesh_select_tools https://svn.blender.org/svnroot/bf-extensions/contrib/py/scripts/addons/mesh_select_tools/ Maintainers: meta-androcto, codemanx Status: Stable & working for many releases before it was merged/added to contrib.

There are possibly minor easy to fix issues such as wiki pages to do that I'm quite happy to fix if needed. Also Blender Developers & Addon Developers are very welcome to help & propose addons fro release or merge. Please if you see addons that fall withing your area of Blender, such as animation or sequencer or uv modules, feel free to contact the author & make suggestions on how they should proceed towards release. Thanks. Brendon Murphy (meta-androcto) Blender Extensions Addons team
