My dear addon makers, Image
This is for you :)

This will spotlight a random addon that is compatible with the user's game and was updated in the last month.
This will come in the next release, but I have a request to some of you:
Make a better description for your addons! :)

I mean some are one liners, like the Treant race whcih literaly says "Adds the treant race" .. ;)

That orc is wearing a lot of lipstick.


... er, I mean, cool feature! And your choice of example shows impeccable taste!

Ahem, it's all the rage in Kruk pride, didn't you know... ;)

(and as I said earlier today to DG "stop using this unfinished thing", to which he retorted "finish it then" and yeah... right after the End of Trees...)

I think that this is a wonderful feature. It'll add quite a bit of awareness, if nothing else, to the community (the newest arrivals, anyway :)).

Any chance it could provide a link to download it directly, too? Or does that require a lot more work than its worth?

I'm assuming that's the blue "Check It Out" at the bottom.

Exactly :) It displays the full addon description & comments and lets you install it:

How did I miss that...? :(

Based on the newest picture, it'll also let us post comments from there? That'd probably help the spotlighted ones get reviews...

Request for Enhancement: Can we get it to display version-specific notes as well? (Say, when moused over, or something?)

Please do so! How can you pass up on this opportunity? :D

I'll avoid being sappy, and not try to force out a tree-pun of my own.

Yew missed one. No druid-cookie for you.
