Let me begin by saying that this BBS and the FAQ (along with the rest of riocar.org) is hands down the best resource for information about a commercial product that I have ever seen. It is very very well put together and the man-hours that are put into maintenence are appreciated by many.

I was thinking that it would be helpful if we had a single place where we could view all the 3rd party applications and hardware add-ons that exist for the Empeg. The downloads section of riocar.org would be the logical place for software, but it doesn't really fit for hardware stuff, and it doesn't list all of the software (for example gpsapp). Another thing is that some of the downloads there could become stale, like some of the kernels available.

Could we get this reorganized and updated? The downloads section could be renamed to Customize and reorganized into logical categories, like:

Customize
-----Hardware
----------pca's tuner kits
----------mlord's docking station
----------Darkstorm's docking station
----------Darkstorm's lenses
----------S/PDIF boards
----------illuminated buttons
-----Software
----------Empeg Software
---------------Hijack
---------------gpsapp
---------------empman
---------------charcoalgrey's web interface
----------Windows Applications
---------------Emplode
---------------Jemplode
---------------Logo Editor
----------Linux/Unix Applications
---------------Jemplode
---------------Solaris cross-compiler
----------PDA Applications
---------------PalmEmpeg

Then we could put two lines at the top of the BBS that would list all the must have's:

Customize Software: Hijack | Jemplode | gpsapp | Logo Editor | more software...
Customize Hardware: Tuner Kit | Facia | S/PDIF | Lenses | Buttons | more hardware...

Then the links to more software and more hardware would lead to the Customize section of riocar.org. This would allow a new user to be able to see all of the available stuff without having to dig through BBS posts.
