Site customizations repository

The other day I was thinking that perhaps a useful way to help address the endless tide of user settings suggestions would be to have someplace for people to more clearly share significant greasemonkey or CSS hacks etc. i.e; not just "make text purple fixedsys on green background" but rather more along the lines of Greasemonkey chatterbox replacement.

Perhaps PerlMonks Related Scripts could serve this role, and the SiteDocClan could annoint it?

PS> radiantmatrix has previously suggested something simlar last year over there.

I like this idea. IMHO, such a section should also contain "Free Nodelet Hacks" (which I have tried to gather in that node), and things like holli's Monk Links Firefox extension. demerphq is hard at work revamping PM's XML Tickers, and davido and bobf are overhauling PerlMonks::Mechanized. In light of all the work being done to make PM easier to access, use, and customize, it makes sense to document and publicize all these cool tools in one central location. :-) Update: Not to start a proliferation of user groups or anything, but perhaps persons interested in maintaining such a repository could have a group analogous to pedagogues. That is how that group got started - people more or less jumping in and saying, "hey! this needs doing!" and being willing to contribute. I hereby nominate belg4mit as the charter member of... um... Toolbelt Slingers (?). ;-) planetscape	[reply]

IMHO, Code is the right place for this; and within that, PerlMonks Related Scripts is nearly spot on. However, it would be nice to separate code (or "code") used on the site from code used for accessing the site; so IMHO a new Code sub-section would be in order. Clearly, editing the Code sub-section pages needs to be opened up... but I'm not sure a new group is needed for this; surely one of janitors, SiteDocClan or pedagogues could be appropriate... We're building the house of the future together.	[reply]
