I've certainly noticed how hard it is to find the needles - mostly because the haystack is continually growing.

The Everything2 and Slash programs are a little larger and more complex than the type I'm currently looking for. I'll keep them in mind when I've collected together decent examples of mainstream programs though.

I understand the nms team's reasons for limiting their initial releases, considering that their first objective was to offer drop-in replacements for those at Matt's Script Archive.

I'm hoping that now they've achieved this, they will expand the range available (which does seem to be their intention).

I'm not sure I'm competent enough (yet) to attempt to improve upon their code, and by the time I am, they will probably have done so themselves.

I actually have another program in mind for my first large project, which they don't currently offer and that I have been trying to find an example of for my own use for some time now (without success).

I will definitely be looking to their code for inspiration however.
