Thanks for the feedback guys. This really helps. So for our custom
pipeline tools, like loaders and publishers, would those be considered
'modules'?

Maya Modules are probably the closest thing, at least in terms of code
encapsulation. You can also just add one module path into the
environment variable and point to a lot of different modules.
It's nowhere near as nice as workgroups but it is the nicest way I
have found to handle lots of code/plugins in a distributable way.
Shelves are the only caveat in that a maya module doesn't have a shelf
path, thus you either have to handle it separately or dynamically load
the shelves via a plugin.

Hello, for myself I actually use symbolic links in Windows; my Maya
scripts directories and plugins folder are synced to my OneDrive, and
then a symlink links directly to that folder for my Maya
installations. Works pretty nicely! You can use something like:
https://bitbucket.org/jsumners/winln/wiki/Home
If you don't want to play with the cmd prompt, too!
I should do the same thing for my XSI setup but right now I'm too
lazy. :P
Yours sincerely,

Yes, you can append paths. I assume you mean MAYA_PLUGIN_PATH and
MAYA_MODULE_PATH?

And my follow up question would be.... can we append multiple
paths to those envars, so we can point to multiple locations at
once?

That's more like the equivalent to rray.de/xsi.

Looking at the Maya docs, I'm guessing I need to implement
environment variables to point to a different path for plugins
and scripts at launch...

Is there anything like XSI's Workgroups in Maya for
sharing plugins across a network?
