Idea: Farr Bundle Release / Central aliases or plugins listing

[justice]

Not sure if this has been discussed before..
Now that Farr2 has quite a few plugins and aliases and so many customizations it can take a while to set up a fresh installation to the way you want. It would be great if there was an official FARR Complete which included FARR + all stable plugins and chosen user aliases. This would add a lot of functionality out of the box and could maybe be periodically maintained. A bit like a point release of a linux distro, you can check for newer versions of plugins yourself or wait until a slightly more tested farr complete becomes available.

This would add quite a lot of work in discussing which plugins /aliases should be included and some time testing the bundle as well as writing up some documentation. So that might not be possible but I think the convenience of having a bundle would be something that might position FARR as a viable choice for more people.

Alternatively a central list could be created with known aliases / plugins as AFAIK finding all options currently requires us to search the farr forum?
Waddaya think?

Ok so I found the plugins page at http://www.donationcoder.com/Software/Mouser/findrun/addons/
But there is no alias page is there?

Actually, that link is for "addons", thus, it also includes aliases

Still, the best way to install plugins for farr would probably be to select "check for updates" in the context menu, then select on DCupdater the "to be installed" tab. (hopefully i got the names right )

It must be too early in the morning for me. Thanks jgpaiva
Have to explore if it's possible to add aliases to dcupdater then.
