1. Yay! I was wondering when the TW community would get round to this. It really needed your initiative, Jeremy. Thanks! It will be nice when this can take the place of the Toolmap.
2. Correction: I add the links in TiddlyWiki toolmap to as many categories as I think are appropriate, and ofte tell the creators to let me know if they belong in additional categories. I recommend that people do a search in the Toolmap to see how many categories a plugin has already. That might give them more ideas for tags in the TWCLA. 3. The 5-10 word limit you mentioned for descriptions is restrictive. Most of the descriptions in the toolmap have the advantage that I have taken them right from the plugin demo sites themselves. I try to keep them to a line or two. People might consider the descriptions there when adding their links. 4. Yes, I will add a bunch of links myself! But this week I have a lot on my plate. 5. *Could you add mine?* Username: giffmex site URL: https://giffmex.org/gifts/twcla.html. I added one link for now to make sure I did it right.
