In the end there will be the website: ED3PTT (codename).
The codename ED3PTT stands for: Elite Dangerous 3rd Party Tools Tool.
Details about the website, snippet copy/pasted from the OP of the mentioned thread.
Annoucement: Friday the 24th of April.
See here for more information. Current status ED3PTT:
Tools: 66
Threads: 47
Videos: 2
Annoucement: Friday the 10th of April.
The future of the third party tools list is secured thanks to commander biobob.
For those who have been following this thread you have noticed a few things.
Well I´ve brilliant news to report. I´ve been contacted by commander Biobob who is currently creating an advanced database driven website version of the OP. What can you expect of the new tools list? See here and here to give you a rough idea for what we have in mind.Biobob came up with things I was dreaming about but were afraid to ask ;-)
When will it be ready? Now its is the 10th of April.We have a date in mind but I can´t reveal that yet. The base is currently implemented and entries can be added/edited. More fields will be introduced - which needs to be filled. Biobob has a lot of work ahead for all the advanced features..... Before releasing the tool I at least want to have all entries from the OP and entries reported by commanders here (thanks a lot) in it. As well as all the tools/threads from the "crowd sourcing 3D coordinates" and "EDDN" threads. There are still hidden quite a lot of brilliant tools/gems in there.
After its finished adding entries will be a snap for me, authors of tools and other commanders. The goal is to have a website (optimized for SEO, tablets as well as smartphones are taking into account wrt UI) which ALL commanders can use to add and edit entries. Logging in will be required for that - to prevent SPAM and pranksters. Its a community effort. At release we try to have as much entries as possible. Currently(20150410) 49 tools and 41 threads. Keeping those all updated is NOT possible for biobob and myself. Hence the success or failure of the tool depends on the community.
TLDR; The website will be a complete overview of all available tools, interesting threads and videos for ED.
My codename for the project is: ED3PTT (Elite Dangerous 3rd Party Tools Tool. Biobob has come up with a better and more catchy name. We have NOT yet decided on the final name. If you have an idea for a good name which sums up the functionality quite nicely as well as sounding great PLEASE DO report it here. It will certainly will be taken into consideration. Should we decide on a name provided by a commander I´m sure we will credit you for it!!!
We are looking for your suggestions.
Hopefully biobob and myself have a lot of suggestions to consider ;-)

For those who have been following this thread you have noticed a few things.
- The OP has problems as the contents its getting to big, resulting in leaking spoiler tags etc.
- The OP has not been updated in a while and I´ve not added posted entries by commanders (thanks) to the OP in a while.
- I´ve asked a few times for help to get a website version of the tools list.
