It's time to create an index where the users can find our add-ons. So i created this forum where any add-on author can announce his work.
The rules are simple:
- One topic for each add-on, no more, no less
- The topic subject most show the package name and a very short description.
- The first topic should bring the URL for download and all the details about the package on a standartized way.
This is the model we should follow:

That's it,
I hope to make the user's life easier.
The URL should point straight to the file, so users can use it with wget.
If any detail has changed edit the first post. The user should found the right information without to read the whole topic.
Avoid to host add-ons out there, we are plenty of space here. If you have built a new add-on send it to Marcelo - Brazil to be uploaded to our webserver.
Instalation Instructions and Utilization Instructions may tell the newbies everything they need to know to get the package up and running. Links to manuals of articles on KB are very welcome.
We will move all the packages from the downloads section to here. There's no such thing of "official add-on". Any contributed work deserves our best considerations.
