Agreed... my reasoning for asking the devs is that obviously they'd be more aware of the script status than anyone. I totally take your point though, the likes of Voinage and the other devs must have little enough time to live their own life alongside developing new releases and updates to their existing modules.
My only worry about an open thread for plugins/scripts status is that users who are new to or inexperienced with XBMC could mistakenly post that a script or plugin is non-working when in fact it's a problem their end.
For example, reading through this thread it would appear as though the NinjaVideo plugin should be working, a point I was labouring under until you put me straight. Even Voinage himself yesterday at 16:04pm posted to suggest that I update my VeohProxy script in an attempt to fix the plugin, a point I personally (wrongly) read as meaning that the script is operational for most users.
Maybe a post that can only be updated by forum mods based on their own experience and feedback from the XBMC users themselves? This at least would reduce the burden on the devs whilst retaining a degree of accuracy in maintaining the plugin/script status list.
Just a thought.....
