Lately we've seen a lot of great articles written here on WinCustomize that warrant a little bit of extra attention.  Some of you don't browse the articles section very often, so here are a few specific ones you might be interested in taking a look at.

  4. Updating the biggest suite ever made: Heavy Equipment
    By neophil78
    This thread started a few weeks ago and I wanted to bring it to everyone's attention.  Neophil78 is leading an effort to try and update components of the Heavy Equipment suite to the latest Object Desktop application versions.  This is growing into a pretty large community project as people attempt to track down all of the suite elements, the original authors etc.  So if you've got some spare time, jump in and help.  You may even spot some old names that have come out of semi-retirement to help out on the project.
     


That's all for now.  If you have any articles or community projects that you think should be highlighted here on the WC front page, be sure to drop me an email (mikec [at] stardock [dot] com) with the link and a brief description of why it's front page worthy.

Would be a neat idea if we got everyone together to skin all the premium skins...one at a time of course...then they would truly be premium! Nothing left unskinned!
