Yes, There are multiple repositories of knowledge, but that is also part of
the problem. Where to look.
I recall a few years back, I was looking for an SMF file for Hobbit on
Solaris 10. I searched, and couldn't find one, so I wrote my own and
proudly posted it to the list, only to be told one already existed, and
was available in the only place I didn't look. (It's still there
http://xymonton.trantor.org/doku.php/addons:hobbitsmf - Thanks for that one
Galen.)
IMHO, this should be added to svn so it will ship in future releases. I will do it if someone confirms it works correctly.
Additionally, I think more needs to be done regarding maintenance of extension scripts etc. to reduce the amount of effort in getting a setup more comprehensive. However, my more concrete reply to the "is Hobbit maintained" thread doesn't seem to make it to the list, even after 4 tries over a few weeks ...
