Rray.de inside netview, with one-click-install, update notifications,
a rating
system, comment section, and Editors-choice collections ..... BAAAAM!

rray.de/xsi inside Netview already works. Open "local backup", d&d an
xsiaddon into a viewport. Nice!
Some problems, though:
- some addons are zipped or rared, so the poor site admin would have to
go through the whole bunch and unzip them.
- the search field seems not to be working... not good.
- does anyone else get some strange script error popup opening the
"backup" link in Netview? I have to click "continue script execution",
then it works nonetheless.
- when d&d-ing an addon, it always gets installed into
xx:\Users\xxx\Autodesk\Softimage_xxx\Addons. There ain't no way to
re-route this to a workgroup, is there?
I'd say the last version of the xsiaddon could reside directly on the
blog entry, for convenience.
So basically rray.de might be the place to go, since it's the most
complete addon collection out there, right?
Maybe the usual suspect plugin writers can get access to the blog to
post their stuff themselves, so the admin has less work?
