The included scripts are from Timestamp 2010-09-18. This is a small update only, for the new home. No new updates planned, it is uploaded for legacy reason. There is a new activity with similiar goal: pAHKlight - Your Lightweight Guide to AHK libs+classes+tools. All efforts should go there.This is my first attempt of creating a collection and sharing of stdlib compatible libraries. It does contain the source, if available a documentation, if available the license text, one sample per lib and some other notes, like if it is strictly stdlib conform (no globals in use etc.).
All these information are collected by hand into one place and saved in an ini file. The associated files can be found as a flat filesystem. The default Gui default script, which is provided with the database, makes it very easy to test the scripts without installing something. It shows buttons for opening the forum posts and the related documentation.
From time to time, I was adding more and more libraries, which I found good enough for this. Some libraries I was interested in are not included, because they are not stdlib compatible or easily usable/installable because of some conflicts, i.e. majkinetors Forms Framework.
Database in ini format
Any suggestion is welcome. If you like, post your favorite library not listed in the database in following format:

If you are a developer of any function, then have it in mind others could use it with the stdlib mechanism. Every function should reside in a library (that is a file containing functions only). A library is stdlib compatible, if the main usable functions lead to automatically inclusion of the library.
Names: To avoid possible conflict, please see what others have done and which function names and prefixes they uses. Different libraries cannot share same set of names.
Script: Please do provide the needed information in a standardized way if it is possible. Most important infos which I cannot guess often are the date of last edit and the version. At least, one of them should be available.
Official example scripts would be good to have, but it is not required. If there is no one, I`ll create one.
What you should do allways is, making an external documentation. It does not need to cover every aspect, begin to write down the most important informations first.
License: And I beg you, please make a notice about what license your script uses. That is an often neglected part, which can cause serious problems. I recommend the GNU Lesser General Public License.
