| 7 | Most major projects/products have some sort of compilmentary project for community-based extensions to the main project/product. |

| 9 | Some random examples: |
| 10 | |
| 11 | * WPF - [http://www.codeplex.com/wpfcontrib/ WPF Contrib] |
| 12 | * ASP.net MVC - [http://www.codeplex.com/MVCContrib MVC Contrib] |
| 13 | * Apache Ant - [http://ant-contrib.sourceforge.net/ Ant-Contrib] |
| 14 | * NHibernate - [http://sourceforge.net/projects/nhcontrib/ NHibernate Contrib] |
| 15 | |
| 16 | Currently no such thing exists and the closest thing we have at the moment is the [http://trac.osgeo.org/mapguide/wiki/CodeSamples Code Samples]. It would make sense for MapGuide to have a "community extensions" sub-project, where users can contribute useful scripts and tools for MapGuide with proper source control and project management. |
