A wesite that combines CI builds of both VSIX Community packages and VSIX Community extensions

What about if we had a website, similar to VsixGallery.com, that combined CI versions of VSIX Community extensions, and CI versions of VSIX Community packages?

I thought about suggesting modifying VsixGellery.com to also accept Buget packages, but the name doesn't really communicate the Community part of VSIX Community, nor that you can find CI versions Nuget packages there.

It could be called something like VsixCommunityGallery.com (or something else).

There could be a single VS extension (like Mad's VSIX Gallery extension) that:

• installs a new Extension Gallery (http://vsixcommunitytoolkit.com/extensions)
• installs a new Nuget Package source (http://vsixcommunitytoolkit.com/packages)

There's currently no one place for CI builds of Nuget packages.

This would mean that:

• Nuget.org wouldn't be cluttered with CI builds of the VSIX Community packages (especially as the number potentially grows)
• VsixGallery.com wouldn't be cluttered with CI builds of any VSIX Community extensions

This could be awesome! What do others think?

There is a CI feed for the NuGet package here: https://ci.appveyor.com/nuget/community-visualstudio-toolkit

Thanks for that Mads. So you don't think an updated/new/combined Community Toolkit website/extension is a good idea?

Not sure. Something that works as a landing page for the VSIX community projects is desirable, but perhaps we can use GitHub pages for that like what I've started with the docs. See the /docs folder in the repo
