Hi Brynn,
This is great work, thanks for taking this on.
You might like to use google docs to draft the document with multiple collaborators instead of passing around and odt file. It should make things easier.
Ultimately. I'd like to see this information eventually makes it's way to the Inkscape website itself under the extensions gallery. Links can be posted and authors other than the uploader can be specified. Tags then used to categorise them.
But of course, this can wait until your good work of documenting them can be completed.
Best Regards, Martin Owens

Hi Friends, I'm working on a project to list all the external extensions, on the same page where I have all the best tutorials listed (https://forum.inkscapecommunity.com/index.php)
I already have a list made -- approx 300 of them. And I'vemade an attempt at organizing them. I'm using the current Extensions menu as a starting place for categories. That seems like the most logical way in which users might search for them (or expect to find them).
The Render and Export categories have so many that I've madesub-categories. Plus I made a new one called Animation, which holds both animation and presentation type of extensions.
But I'm stuck with approx 45 of them which I'm not sure wherethey would belong. Plus, I might not have gotten the ones I did organize in the proper place. Often extensions might fit in more than one category, but usually one is better than the other.
I wonder if anyone might have some time, to help me out withthis? I've uploaded an ODT file as an attachment in this forum topic (which I've also requested any forum members who might have time to help). https://forum.inkscapecommunity.com/index.php?topic=1261.0
For clarity, these are specifically what I need help with:-- At the bottom (last 3 pages) is a category called "Unsure". Those are the ones I need the most help with. Ideally I'd like all of them categorized....except that there are several extensions I found which don't have descriptions, and their titles aren't very helpful with knowing what they do either. So there could realistically be a few left over which can't fit into a category.
-- There are subcategories in Render and Export called "Other" (among several other subcats). There should be several extensions from "Other" which can fit into other subcategories.
-- Generally if you notice any that I put in the wrong place, please move them to the correct place.
For anyone who can help, please just edit that file, andupload it somewhere. (The file itself is just my working list. It's not going on the webpage, so don't worry about the formatting or font. I'll deal with that when I code the page.)
I really appreciate any help which anyone can offer. And Ithink it will benefit the community as well, to have sort of a master list available, so users don't have to spend so much time searching the internet.
Thank you very much, brynn
