One thing that would probably be helpful is just to get some of the links that are presented here into the official website. Maybe I wasn't looking at the right spot, but while I had found web2pysplices, and the appliances section on the main website, until this thread I've never seen http://web2py.com/plugins/ (Is it listed from the main page at all? I checked main page, Download, Documentation, Staff, Support at the top and a ^F for plugin found no hits.)
