Microsoft's Visual Studio Gallery was announced to the public today. It provides a one-stop-shop for Visual Studio add-ins, packages, item and project templates, macros, controls, coffee makers, toasters, etc. I think it's a great idea. Google can only help so much here (have you tried searching for "visual studio add-ins"? ;)
Anyone can register their free or paid products, so if you've got one, let the world know!
I've added DocProject under the Build, Documentation and Web categories. It has its own little HTML-formatted corner of the site too, which is a cool feature I think. Take a look at it here. It already has over 150 unique views!
Currently, the site does not host products so I simply link back to CodePlex (although I love CodePlex so I have no intention of leaving anytime soon).
From my few short discussions with the site's program manager, Anthony, I'd say that they have some good ideas to work with for the future. Features that'll make locating products and adding new products easier. So remember to look back occasionally for updates in the next few months.
