[Labs-l] Visibility of tools

[Silke Meyer]

Hi all!

I was thinking about the list of tools a bit more... In my opinion, this
collection of tools should be more visible to the world! There is so
much work and knowledge in there and partially you really have to dig to
find them...
There is this plan to create/improve Labs/Tool Labs so that tools can be
shared with others more easily. So one very important thing is to *know*
about existing tools.

How about dragging these tools into the spotlight? (The ones on the
toolserver as well as the ones already living in Labs.) The other day I
heard the proposal from a community member to have featured tools in a
visible place, e.g. a "tool of the month" or even of the week. I like
the idea! It could shortly present a tool, what it does, where to find
it and the person(s) behind.

What do you think of it? The first place that came to my mind where The
Signpost and/or German language Kurier where we could suggest this
topic. I'll be afk for the next few days and I'd be glad to read some
opinions when back. :)

Best, Silke
