What do people think about having a single thread for useful scripts, programs, software locations etc (NOT discussions of then)?

My idea is to have a single source for the items themselves, to save people having to trawl through large threads to find the latest version of a particular item or program location.
Happy Crunching,

Graham

100% agree !
It's not easy to find software in all those posts !

Even better would be to have a website where all software will be available for download or linked to owner's software.
It will include a small introduction, os, version, review, ratings...and so on....just some ideas.

Is gpuug can offer this ? If not, I have a personal website where I can write some html pages....
What do think about that ?

We already have such threads.
Example
https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=71867

This one could be updated with things like that maybe.

The problem i see is that many users tend to ask on other threads no matter such threads exists.
But it could be done anyways.


With each crime and every kindness we birth our future.
