up

quick note non trivial usage scripts with no wiki page should be warned and eventually removed same for scripts not submitted by authors themselves, I got complaints from an addon author, which is a shame and can make bf-extensions a bad name. --mindrones 16:37, 15 December 2010 (UTC) --tstscr: absolutely agree, and there are a few scripts which don't have a maintainer associated with them

Addon Categories

At the moment we have three categories:

• upload

   * general upload
   * can be used by anyone

• contrib

   * usefull, but few usecases
   * code has been reviewed
   * duplicated functionality (maybe with other workflow?)
   * can have scripts with same functionality/purpose
        it is good to be able to choose from different things that promise the same

• release

   * usefull new functionality
   * workflow enhancements
   * Importer/Exporter (we should have as many of those preinstalled as possible)
   *
