Komodo Packages

In Komodo we have a concept of [Packages](http://komodoide.com/packages/). A package is any external item that can be added to Komodo. This could be any of the following:

  • Addons
  • Userscripts
  • Color Schemes
  • Skins
  • Languages (the human kind)
  • Keybindings

The Komodo packages are almost all community contributed and community maintained. They are great ways to extend Komodo and customize beyond what we already provide. It’s also a great way to see what’s possible if you’re considering ways that you may want to extend Komodo. You can also take anything from the [Komodo packages repo](https://github.com/Komodo/Packages) and extend it with additional features. We recommend feeding those changes back to the original author through pull request unless you’ve done a complete re-write or it makes more sense to fork and turn it into something new. Sharing is caring. We support Open Source wholeheartedly.

So open the Komodo packages website that I linked above and enjoy! You’ll be amazed at the community contributed tools! And we’re always here to help if you want to write your own. You’ll get a one-day response from a developer and/or community member in our [forums](http://forum.komodoide.com/) (assuming you’re not posting on the weekend…:P ).
