I have a document that I have been maintaining, with known bugs and workarounds for EA.
I also have made dozens of fixes to the Transform Templates, a few fixes to the DDL Templates, and I have some Scripts I wrote to automate working around other bugs or limitations in EA.

Where is a good place to post the above, for the community?  I looked at the https://community.sparxsystems.com/ website, but don't see a "freebie code" section.

I know Geert has generously created a Git site for his Add-ons.  That (currently) only has add-on code however, not templates and scripts.  (Given the grief I had editing the templates, I suspect Geert's method of using Add-ons is smarter than what I did.)

the community site was created for that exact purpose, but I don't find it very convenient. Not for readers, but also not for contributors.

I also have a repository for VBscripts and one for Shapescripts on Github.

The main purpose of those repositories is version control for my development efforts. The fact that the code is shared publicly is an extra.

I once started this for myself: https://app.assembla.com/spaces/enterprise-architect/tickets/realtime_list
Can you guess why I gave up maintaining it?

@Geert:  Thanks; I'll have a look at your VBScripts repo

@qwerty:  Yeah, I guess the idea of a searchable list of known bugs, with workarounds and fix status sounds good, but quickly becomes a great deal of work.  That kinda sounds like something that a well-managed vendor support team would do.  Some vendors have exactly that on their websites, and Google searches will find current/past tickets related to your query.

Not quite the correct guess. I teil you: Sparx did not fix the bugs. At least most of them dwelled there for years and some (I don't want to waste more time in counting/verifying) are still not fixed.
