This comes up in threads now and again, so I thought a specific topic
would help.
It would be a good idea to provide some upload / repositry area for
users to share Syntax highlighters,with maybe a separate topic area
for alerts on new uploads, and discussions on this area ?
Just FYI, though it isn't what you guys are specifically asking for, you can add new language support by editing the langs.xml file and the styles.xml file. I was able to add proper support for Verilog that way in version 3.9, prior to letting Don know about the problems so he could fix them in version 4.0.
I'm sure that if you generate the proper lines to add to those files to make your language of choice work, and submit them here, that Don will add them in future versions.
Then again, I could be wrong, and he might hate the concept of new languages and refuse to add them ;).

eg Here is an example of another editor's highlighter download area :

The download page at http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/site.htm has a number of user defined language definitions available, but it isn't obvious how to get one posted there.
Yes it could be be a very good idea to allow everybody to propose its specific syntax highlighting for others
