Here it is a PR which will be released the day after tomorrow but I  
think this great list had to be the first to know :-)

So Smart Software (http://www.sosmartsoftware.com/) today announces  
the availability of three new plugins for the Revolution family of  
software development tools (www.runrev.com). These new plugins  
provide additional features that support smart projects reports,  
windows management and real time access to sixteen tutorials stacks.  
The plugins come with help stacks in French and English and are  
available for Mac OS and Windows XP.

"In fewer than 5 months, our tool kit has grown a lot. Now thirteen  
plugins are available, supporting a wide range of programming  
necessities for beginners and advanced users. At the same time, we  
decided that "giving fish" is a good idea but teaching people how to  
fish is an even better one. That's the reason why we have released  
sixteen tutorials and this is only the beginning!” said Eric   
Chatonet of So Smart Software.
