I do agree.  The TI community has grown large enough that programs
should start "earning" their way to ticalc.org.  The problem is, checking
all those programs and deciding which one or two is best is very time-
consuming.  And you'd have to continue testing new ones as they are
submitted.  A lot of work.  Especially for one person...
