Been there. Several times. I feel your pain.
1. Not sufficient 3rd party tools with a viable marketplace [also little on
Git]. If we have all these old LC scripts and they are open source, why
don't we just put them on git???
There's some stuff on github, but it's not easy to find. Also, stacks
that aren't script-only aren't a great fit for github other than as a
means of somewhere to put them. Github is actually set up more for other
team purposes than just a a repository for files.

There's livecodeshare, but you have to know about it in order to look
for it, it's on runrev.com instead of livecode.com/org, posting and
updating stacks there is a pain, and it's only for complete stacks.
There's no way to upload scripts as text and no way to upload widgets.
There's actually no place to upload widgets that I know of other than
the web forum, and searching for things there is byzantine.

2. small community on StackOverflow.
I use stackoverflow all the time. It's an essential resource. I <almost>
never use it for LC bc the community isn't there. The resources are here
instead.
And please someone work on the www.slant.co.
I'm with Paul on this. I never heard of slant (I first read that as
'slack') and I'm wary of it. Unfortunately people tend to believe what
they see on the internet. Even if it's not in color <g>.
