<p>thanks, but it would be nicer if everyone would contribute with a link to a demo, article or utility..</p>

Probably i'm missing something about the various RL Utilities and Extensions. They are not inside the RL package right?My question is why not? Why not to put them into some RL folder like "Extensions" (e.g. the "Modular utility")?<br />
If is not possible how do you treat and maintain your code in case of RL utilities?<br />
Thanks.</p></div>jaddtag:robotlegs.tenderapp.com,2009-10-18:Comment/25915832010-11-10T09:02:21Z2010-11-10T09:02:21ZUtilities and Extensions<div><p>version control practicalities. Because github makes it so easy to fork and fix and upload there are a lot of changes (improvements) happening regularly to the utils, and new utils appearing often too. So ... if your question is about the 'package' as in bundle of files, it's because they all evolve separately.</p>
<p>If you mean 'package' as in the org.robotlegs - they should be. Older ones are in org.robotlegs.utilities.thing... and newer ones are just in the org.robotlegs. packages with the base/core/mvcs breakdown.</p>
<p>I have my utils each as a separate library compiling from source.</p>
<p>If I've completely missed the point... come back and ask in more detail!</p>

<p>I created an example on my fork:<br />
<a href="https://github.com/Ondina/robotlegs-framework/wiki/Community-Resources---recommended-by-Users">https://github.com/Ondina/robotlegs-framework/wiki/Community-Resour...</a></p>
<p>@ ZackPierce thank you for the link. I added it to the others.</p>
<p>I have many more links to articles and examples, but before continuing to add them to the above mentioned file, I want to make sure that it is worth my effort and.... time, and also that others would contribute as well :)</p>
<p>It is almost impossible for a single person to maintain the fast growing collection of robotlegs related articles, demos, presentations. I admire Robert Penner’s as3signal Community Examples on github. He seems to be maintaining it all by himself!!</p>
<p>I’m not sure about the collaboration policy. Shaun?<br />
Should everyone (with a github account) be able to edit the Wiki, as it was the case for the Common Problems?<br />
But even if it’s ok to edit the official wiki, not everyone has a github account. So maybe those of us who are willing to contribute to the wiki could gather the links from here and add them to the github page?</p>
<p>Please, give me feedback about the whole idea (Community Resources) and also about the structure of the Resources file ( author, title, link, tags ) and how to make it look better (I’m not a Textile expert). Or make a suggestion.</p>

<p>A couple of quick thoughts:</p>
<p>1) This already looks like it needs breaking down in some way - I was about to suggest 3 more utils that are on my github, plus a couple of gists, and that made me think that it needs to be more abbreviated. Maybe this single page is actually multiple pages? Eg - articles, utils (commands), utils (view/mediator maps) etc. Maybe not - perhaps it's nice to get an overview.</p>
<p>2) Anyone can make a github account and it's free, so I'd encourage people to do that and get their feet wet in github, and then they'll be in a position to share gists, contribute to code etc. But of course it's always possible to pick things up from the other channels and for others to add them.</p>

<p>I think, it would be better to have separate pages for each category, as you suggested. Each page will grow bigger over time, right?<br />
I put all in one page because it was just an example and I was lazy..</p>
<p>Another category/page could be: Tools (Utilities for Testing, IDE)? (inspired by Robert’s structure)</p>
<p>Tutorials<br />
Demos<br />
Utilities<br />
Tips and Tricks<br />
Tools<br />
Presentations<br />
Projects using Robotlegs</p>

All pages reside inside the wiki folder.<br />
The only way to achieve a hierarchical structure is to edit the ‘Home’ section and make lists of links, like this:<br />
