Announcing a VentureForth plugins experiment.

[DRuffer]

I have created a Google Code page to hold User Supported plugins for
the VentureForth compiler. It is not supported by IntellaSys and this
announcement is news to them as much as it is news to all of you. It
is simply an idea I had and something that I could start. I have
seeded it with a simple FloorPlan plugin that demonstrates the concept
I have in mind. I have also put in a diff file that can be used to
patch the IntellaSys SwiftForth USB driver to work on gforth in
cygwin. However, this concept requires user participation to
succeed. Go to:

http://code.google.com/p/vf-plugins/

And let me know what you think. I'm an old-school type of guy, so
there isn't much pizzaz yet, but with your help, it can be whatever we
want it to be. I just can not do all of the work alone. It will live
or die based on your input and particiaption.

Make the sort algorithm work without a data folder
Add Timing Diagrams to FdCheck
Start saving events when starting checksums
Include an IOCS access in FdCheck simulation
Update version numbers on all changed files
Add the OSX driver to the gforth startup
Change T18 references to VentureForth
Add SVG output files with HTM loader
