Full Tilt SketchUp Plugin Packs
-
I wonder if there is a market to buy a full SketchUp plugin folder. Every Plugin that can be installed without breaking sketch-up. Then offered for download from some place (hint hint)that perhaps charged for the testing and knowledge that it took to put together such a trustworthy installation.
of course this would require a lot of permissions from various authors. But then again people could say no and they wouldn't be in the pack. I suppose there would be a paid version with all the paid plugins but the free version plugins would be much easier to build.
This type of idea would allow a novice to buy a plugin folder that allowed them to have the most fully functional and operation SketchUp installation without all the testing and breaking and reinstalling. This would also keep people up to date on what plugins have been made obsolete and just take up space.
I then suppose that various installations sets could be made. Architectural, Wood Working, Site Planning, Organic Modeling etc. etc.
This might be a viable funding effort for SketchUcation...
Thoughts?

Pushing the bunched other author's free\shareware scripts to rookies? Hmm-hmm...

Lol...

I agree it's useful to organize testing ("certification"?) to guarantee that selected plugins work together without users needing to find out the hard way. I'm not sure if beginners should have too many plugins available right from the start (depends on type of beginners). On the other side, thoughtfully selected plugins can offer (almost) complete functionality of other modeling packages.
A challenge of bundles is that they can easily be out of date. It would be cool if SketchUp had a better updating system (and repository), so the bundle just fetches all those plugins from the repository.

FYI Fredo has an update part of his plugins... it checks all the plugin developers that have used it. Mine checks every 15 days.
