I would suggest to add the following additional tools (from my parallel edit):
 +
* <s>jEveAssets - very useful asset manager (http://eve.nikr.net/jeveasset)</s>
 +
* IGB POS Planer - Unique POS fitting tool, and does not need the IGB to work
 +
* <s>EVE Structures - Unique tool for finding public structures in New Eden (http://www.kalkoken.org/apps/evestruct/)</s>

Latest revision as of 22:46, 27 June 2020

A complete rewrite of the 3rd Party Tools article, with an eye towards usability and maintainability

Plan of Action

  1. Initial layout and information gathering
  2. incorporation of all standalone or web hosted tools from the #tweetfleet awesome-eve list
  3. checking and incorporation of all relevant entries from the old page
  4. copy editing
  5. peer review
  6. publication
  7. moving of leftover resources to a new page to compliment this one, with "reference material" and "news"

Outstanding Issues

  • Should self-hosted web-apps (requiring a LAMP stack or equivalent) be included?
  • Should there be a stated procedure for being included / not included? For instance, how long should a tool go without update before it is removed?
  • What to do with items that were on the old list but should not have been, like the Eve Acronyms website?
    • I lean towards making a separate "new player resources" article, perhaps as a part of my guide to getting yourself set up that is currently WIP

I would suggest to add the following additional tools (from my parallel edit):
