Extended Winamp and others with no recent author presence: emergency Python 3 compatibility releases to go out this week, community maintenance

Word add-on: remove from community add-ons website?
Seconded, although I'm not sure of the value of waiting even that long. Luke

That is nice forward-looking language choice, but us switching to that would be at least a year away, if not more likely 18 months. By then, we will very probably have a different solution either in p

This says "The following add-ons are no longer actively developed or incompatible with recent NvDA releases.". Recent is relative to the person reading it. Can this be changed to say something like: "

Nobody is talking about a legacy mode. It can't, and it won't. We're talking about the website. The add-ons website: whether to leave add-ons that are stable now, but become non-functional under 2019.

The last time we had this conversation (August?) I remember that I and others thought we should have a legacy stable section for such add-ons. I still think so. Luke

[nvda-devel] [nvda-addons] Add-on Updater proposal: modify add-on files database to include add-on name/ID for easier comparison and for future-proofing
As I understand what you are saying, you would alter the existing addons names table, and add a nickname column. Thus making your look-up process easier. That seems perfectly reasonable if it is consi

[nvda-devel] Concern about terminology in developer guides
I wrote that section with the thought of very new developers in mind, trying to cut down on information overload and eliminate confusion. Which is the very definition of an add-on as well, is it not?

Golden Cursor 3.8, SystrayList 3.7, important notes about these add-ons

In such a situation, updating the add-ons should be fine. Just be sure to answer "no" to the "restart NVDA" prompt. Luke

Add-on name capitalization
Can someone comment further on this, as it's the first I've heard of capitalization being any kind of problem. Luke

Clipspeak: handing the add-on to the community
Thanks. I saw that Reef had a pywin32-bin repo started back in May, but it's just a stub at this point, and I'm not sure if he's going to continue whatever that was. Luke

Yes, that is a known bug. It has been reported to that add-on's developer, and there is a long-standing issue in Focus Highlight's repo for it. I think this add-on is probably going to be irrelevant t
