*There is a Need: Sorting the piles of extensions*
We need a better way to sort through the piles of extensions that are
cropping up. The wiki isn't cutting it and announcements on the
mailing list don't quite cut it..
*Background: Paperclipped - the relatively unknown and seriously
awesome extension *
I read a mail in the mailing list mentioning Paperclipped. I remember
seeing something about it a while back but it never stuck in my brain.
So I decided to go check it out. What I found is a page_attachments
replacement that is waaay waay better. However, it wasn't in the list
of extensions on the wiki, which I check regularly to see what's new.
This is monumental info that's not out there!! Tufts of hair almost
flew from my head!
*A Dream Was Born: radiantextensions.com *
So, I decided right there that I was going to register the domain
radiantextensions.com and write a little app for listing extensions by
useful information like when it was created, when it was last updated,
what versions of Radiant it works in and even maybe include a user
rating system. Paperclipped would get 5 stars for me. Heck, even
listing extensions by category and having search features would be
awesome.
*A Dream Died (almost)*
Well, radiantextensions.com is taken.. so my dream almost ended. I say
'almost' because I can always toss out the idea to the mailing list
and, despite the odds that no one will read this, perhaps something
else will come of it.
