That at least would clean up that entire add-on section a bit for the time being. Don't think it would be necessary (or wise) to give each add-on or dev his own section.
Speaking of that, been meaning to write up a little guide for add-on devs on how to go about this (just advice), but devs/users, you're free to expand those add-on pages on the wiki. Use them to set up FAQs, guides, etc. You can even make sub-pages if one page isn't enough. TheCollective (guys behind add-ons like YouTube, Vimeo, Common plugin cache, etc) have done this, moving their documentation to the wiki. (should have some guidelines soon, but feel free to PM me if you have any questions about that)
Of course, the forum piracy policy would extend to the wiki as well, but if any external site wants to set up something similar, I'd be glad to help you out with MediaWiki stuff.

would of thought opening a new subreddit (r/xbmcaddons) on reddit would of been a better idea.
least then you are tapping into an existing xbmc and cordcutting community.

Where did you get that out of what I wrote?

Code:
I think we all want the same thing, 1 home for all..
hot topic - Abrasher - 2012-01-06 00:03
Okay, well the fact is that XBMC HUB is up and running. If it is home to 3, that is great. WIll it stop there? NO. We may not have all devs on all platforms homing their discussions in the HUB but we have some very user friendly and forward thinking tools offered to make it a great(enjoyable) place to be.
There was the mentioning of an APP STORE type set up. We are way ahead of you. What is up is the first stage of the project. It says in the General Information section that there is much in the way of a face lift coming.
It is our full intention to have video walks throughs, reviews, and user feedback on all of these things. We will start with these great devs being ousted(for now) to work out the kinks. Once we are smooth and devs are pleased...
BRING ON THE AWESOME.
Conversation is moot. XBMC is making the change (understandably). XBMC HUB is bor as a result. I will work my hardest to make it a place that furthers the XBMC community and supports those that the HOME TEAM cannot.
God Bless.
@ amet
You are still being very hostile on some unnecessary points. Please move on and let it go. If XBMC didn't have to make these changes there would be none of these discussions. This is all a simple result of your teams decision. Of course those effected are bothered. THIS SHOCKS YOU? REALLY??

Not sure this is best way to go. By far the most popular addons are video addons (73%), and they are still limped together.
I don't see the point in having such an extensive list, group common ones together ie
music (Album Scraper Addons, Artist Scraper Addons, Lyrics Addons and Music Addons) 13%
programs (Program Addons, Service Addons, Subtitle Addons) 4%
Scrapper (Music video Scraper Addons, Movie Scraper Addons, TV Scraper Addons) 1%
misc (Picture Addons, Weather Addons, Web Interface Addons) 8%
And find some way of dividing up the video addons. By repo would be my choice. But what has been done, hasn't helped the situation.

While we're at it, can we get a subsection for addon requests?

Ok the video section still has a lot but it is still better than it used to be. It now only has video add-ons so searching it will be a lot easier and the popular ones will be on top.

Don't know it subsection in a sub can be done. Maybe for large repo's that have a lot of add-ons it might be a good idea however there is the chance all gets fragmented again.

That might be a good idea
