  IndieGameTools.com for Evaluating Development Tools

At the GDC Indie Developer SIG meeting I started a discussion about the need that Indies have to quickly identify and evaluate time saving tools. It was a lively discussion but there were no solutions.  I decided later to create a solution of my own. 

I'm looking for Indie developers to take a look at http://IndieGameTools.com.  It's a website that catalogs game development tools and Indie developers' opinions about them. 

Time will tell if it becomes a useful tool itself.  I'd appreciate any time you can spare to provide feedback on your favorite tools.  Perhaps when the site matures it can help your project.

The database is starting out with about 800 tools. I'm sure that many are missing but we'll fix that in time. If this works... great, enjoy, and glad I could help.

If it doesn't, well then pardon the spam and I'll get back to the projects that I put on hold for this little diversion.

Thanks Caleb! With just a little help from everyone I think this site can grow in to a very powerful resource for the community.
