I've been trying to figure out a way to make myself useful here while I nail down my research into developing my first truly useful XBMC video addon so naturally Ive been looking at what's out there and to be honest it's been more difficult to find exactly what's out there floating in historical XBMC cyberspace, than it is to read the addon code itself.
I've found that the 3rd party add-on repositories page ( http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=3rd...positories ) on the XBMC.org Wiki isn't very complete and features many add-ons that are outdated, making it difficult to figure out what add-ons could use development and which are presently active. It makes it even more difficult for the newbies out there to figure out which repos to install, try them all out and have fun using your XBMC after lol, not! In the end, I've been using SuperRepo's web site to get this information, but have found that much of it is inaccurate and I didn't like the stink they caused here a couple months back.
I was thinking that everyone could help contribute to creating a more comprehensive directory by posting links the repositories which you use, as well as to repositories that you know exist. I'm assuming this thread will get quite a bit of activity, so I'd like to ask that for organizational reasons, these links be listed with a space in between them in the following format:
Hopefully Team-XBMC will give me their blessing to renew their Wiki page with this content afterwards or perhaps someone official will prefer to do so, either way we'll have a nice big database of what's available so that everyone can be aware of what's already developed for XBMC and what's not.
I'm going to try to get some time in tonight to make a nice big list to get this started.

Code:
Repo: [Repository Name]
Download: [GitHub or GoogleCode Download Link]
Active: [Addon 1], [Addon 2], [Addon 3], [Addon 4], ... (Working Addons)
Broken: [Addon 1], [Addon 2], [Addon 3], [Addon 4], ... (Broken Addons)
Notes: Should you encounter a solitary addon without being in a repository, or it's not developed through GoogleCode or GitHub, put it on the list anything and just leave the unavailable fields blank, keep the fields there though anyway to make it easier to be edited once someone puts it together into a full list.Hopefully Team-XBMC will give me their blessing to renew their Wiki page with this content afterwards or perhaps someone official will prefer to do so, either way we'll have a nice big database of what's available so that everyone can be aware of what's already developed for XBMC and what's not.
