Yes, I agree, some questions can be annoying, and have been asked and answered over and over, but we need to remember we were all ignorant once. Yes, There are multiple repositories of knowledge, but that is also part of the problem. Where to look. I recall a few years back, I was looking for an SMF file for Hobbit on Solaris 10. I searched, and couldn't find one, so I wrote my own and proudly posted it to the list, only to be told one already existed, and was available in the only place I didn't look. (It's still there http://xymonton.trantor.org/doku.php/addons:hobbitsmf - Thanks for that one Galen.)
IMHO, this should be added to svn so it will ship in future releases. I will do it if someone confirms it works correctly.
Additionally, I think more needs to be done regarding maintenance of extension scripts etc. to reduce the amount of effort in getting a setup more comprehensive. However, my more concrete reply to the "is Hobbit maintained" thread doesn't seem to make it to the list, even after 4 tries over a few weeks ...
