Your Weekly Devot:ee - December 2, 2010

devot:ee

This week, per user suggestions, we’re experimenting with adding the short description for each new add-on. This also coincides with an extra big dose of new add-ons because we missed a post last week due to Thanksgiving. This results in what is likely the most lengthy Weekly devot:ee ever. Let us know if you like the addition of the short descriptions.
