<br>As you may be aware Coren, the Toolserver has tried to maintain its own list of tools in the past, and indeed still maintains an amount of documentation on the Toolserver wiki. Note that the main issue is not the availability of a space, it's whether tool developers can be bothered to document their own tools. Whether they can be bothered is itself a factor of traffic: at the moment, I think most Toolserver developers see the primary discovery route to be via their local wiki, rather than a central one. I don't expect that to change.<br>

Train of thought here; such a wiki would also be a natural home for community documentation (howtos, known bugs, libraries and toolkits used by the maintainers).<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
