Huh. I don't use the TopologyBuilder to clean up data, I use it to do set-wise topological relationship analysis :)
SpatialRelator and SpatialFilter are pretty cool too, but pretty task-specific. I'm not sure you've got a sound methodology for developing this list. It will de-preference new transformers (possibly at the expense of best practices), and I think that the Pro Services workspaces might be more biased towards heroic measures than day-to-day stuff. It would be cool of the stats sent by FME back to Safe could include site_id, workspace_name, workspace_created, and transformer_list. That way you would have a larger set of results, and could filter by date (newer transformers AND more input from new users), and analyse which transformers are strongly correlated with certain input/output formats, with each other, etc. I _really_ like that FMEpedia page. It does a great job of describing some of the more common tasks. It would be more useful to develop a self-enclosed example (Creator -> Stuff -> Visualiser) of each one. I don't think I'll be seeing over my current stack of work long enough to work on it anytime soon though.

I'd certainly like to see the 2dPointReplacer and Sorter added. But actually the list is from a scan of all our pro services team workspaces, so I guess we don't use TopologyBuilder that much here: we only work with clients who have nice looking data to start with ;-) I did start an fmepedia page on how to combine transformers to get certain effects - see http://www.fmepedia.com/index.php/Category:What_do_you_want_to_transform _today%3F ...when I get more time hopefully I'll be able to go into more detail on some of them.
