This is awesome, Alex, but what about those who are of lesser
programming abilities? Will there be a place for developers to
upload their updates, upgrades, and additions? Mine available.

Then there IS a place. Yours :)
The more people contribute, the happier I am.

I am absolutely interested, albeit I am not up to FPGA yet. There is so much space on my web site, I don't know what to do with it. I can open a folder for you, and you can upload, set up a web site, whatever to your heart's content. ;-)
P.S., whatever happened to my PseudoDisk? Have been trying to
contact you for quite some time. Thanks.

Sent you e-mail. I didn't get anything from you for a long time.

I'm still not sure what went wrong there, but I did see some blocks checked that shouldn't have been. Unchecked tham and now everyone is seeing my posts again. Weird.
