Tony, I completely agree we should do this. A quick github search reveals there are some nice utilities/processors folks have built for NiFi but for which they're not necessarily going to submit them as PRs. We should link to these as much as possible but we should also help folks understand these aren't 'apache' things and are not of the Apache NiFi community directly but they are good for users and developers to know about.
Perhaps a wiki page linking to these is good provided we have the above sort of disclaimer and a healthy recognition such references will become stale...
