I think it's time to compile a database of what works...
There'd need to be some guidelines on what counts as 'works'. As I'd not count anything that requires having to be run as admin as works even if it does, that's not a practical solution. Same goes for whether something is viable to use in a portable install or if it needs specific runtimes & all of that.
Now maybe it's me just thinking more stringently (as a lot of this stuff was ignored by plug-in devs from what I saw with the old winamp site submissions) otherwise seeing something rated as 'works' implies a lot to most users but it's then also how to make it clear there are issues with ones that can work but need workarounds to get them working.
