Hi!
I’d like to get your input on trying to compile
a repository of add-ons as well as “nifty” stuff found on
the rt-users list. Having used RT for a while and done quite a few
modifications I can see that there is a big demand for all of the
nice add-ons made - like the great Stats package or all of Bruces’s
mods
but - also following the lists, most people don’t seem to want to
base64 decode the mailing lists, and the same requests come up
over and over again.
I think we’d benefit from something like the Netsaint add-ons or
the BigBrother add-on pages or even something Freshmeat similar?
Being a very big fan of FreeBSD - I propose a BSD similar model -
everything
that goes in (As opposed to a linux model) will be “tried and verified”
- For untried patches I would not mind adding a “Try it yourself area?”
I think I can get space and some BW from my employer, and I was
thinking maybe a simple Slash like system to get everything uploaded and
somewhat documented?
Or should it just simply all be put on sourceforge?

Well, there already is http://fsck.com/pub/rt/contrib, which anyone is welcome to send
me files to be included in. I only ask that you package your add-on as a tar file with
a readme included both inside and outside the tarball.
Additionally, if you’re interested in enhancing the online documentation, perhaps
with FAQ entries on common modifications, I’d recommend that you join the
rt-doc-workers mailinglist and post your proposed new FAQ entries. Significant
contributers to rt-doc-workers can even get a username and password to
update the online documentation directly
