Open Source Maxscript and plugin repo on sourceforge.net: Call for interest

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

For the last couple of years I've been using SVN for source control of all my scripts and plugins for Max. This has worked out pretty well for me since it:
A. Obviously gives me source control over my scripts etc, and
B. Makes it very easy to distribute all of my scripts and plugins to everyone in my company.

Everyone has all the files checked out into their Max folders, so all they have to do is exit Max, do an SVN update and restart Max and they have the latest everything with the option to revert any files back to previous versions f they need to.

So this has got me thinking that there is no global open source collection of plugins, functions, tools etc for Max. Sure there are plenty of maxscript extension plugins and thousands of scripts but they are all over the place and there is very little code reuse. What we need is a global store where all developers can contribute their ideas, ie a sourceforge project. Now this would be more for low level stuff like plugins, maxscript extensions, maxscript functions etc rather than specific tools.

For example I've written functions to write the values of all rollout controls to an INI file and then be able to load them back in.

What does everyone think?
