I have some old functions for that issue.

I remember you had your framework online. Did you remove it?

Otherwise, yes. I'm quite interested by the library/framework 
side of things ; even if there are a lot of redundant code 
between our two frameworks. :)

Actually, I'm already maintaining a few more or less dependant 
frameworks. See http://code.google.com/p/lh-vim/wiki/lhVimLib 
for the more general one.
[I'm currently adding boost.bind-like functions that I'm planning 
to use in order to simplify my refactoring plugin.]

That sounds interesting. Having to say "to use this plugin, you have 
to install the following 4 vimballs", as I'm currently doing, does not 
seem to be the right way. I'll have a look at your solution.

Sometimes, I have some feedback. But that's quite rare. Unless our scripts
are exceptionally visible, we won't get much. Library oriented script seem 
to me to be the worse kind: most of us prefer to reinvent the wheel instead 
of relying on external library-plugins.

I did move my scripts to googlecode to track their evolutions, bugs and RfC.
May be, I'll move them back to vim.org if it eventually offer what has been 
discussed in the other thread about vim.org and scripts hosting.
