A dropbox-workgroup (or a workgroup on a FTP) that you can just connect to (or
make a local copy and get updates every now and then) would be awesome.
I think just having tools on a FTP is not a real advantage over rray.de, because
you don't have any previews or descriptions for the tools (other than just to
connect to a workgroup, where you can just try stuff, because it's already
installed).
A community workgroup could add a community menu where you select users to see
their tools... like this:
user-tools
- userFoo
- exporters
- rigging stuff
- ....
- userBar
- exporters
- animation helpers
- whatever
- userFnord
- curve tools
- make-awesome tools
- whatever
And maybe a similar structure for ICE/Render compounds.
That way a user can maintain his own section and will probably not break some
other stuff. Since I never created any AddOns: is it enough to have a folder
structure inside the addon-folder of the workgroup and place stuff there, or is
a file in InstalledAddons where you register all that stuff necessary as well?
Anyway, I think if we could get something like that going, it would be the shit!
Personally I would probably connect to it every now and then, check some stuff
and take the tools I like into my personal workgroup. And of course upload some
of my new tools to the community workgroup.
cheers,
Thomas
