Mailing list or OpenG support forums?

I have been poking around the OpenG forums and noticed that perhaps some 
of my announcements should go there.  Should I move to the forums for 
discussion or is the mailing list still the best?  But as long as I have 
your attention, I have another toolkit that I have ready for beta 
"VI_Tag Toolkit" which is currently just wrapper VI's around the VI 
tagging methods available from VI scripting.  I had to password protect 
the diagrams since scripting functions are not supposed to be available 
to the public.  I have been using the tagging methods for version 
control since the tag data is available even if the front panel and/or 
diagram is missing.  I haven't applied it yet, but a tag could be 
created for storing SCC version information as well.  I have done some 
testing and have found the following about the tag methods:

Testing with VI Tag method

   1. Set Tag will create and set a tag
   2. Set Tags will only change the data of an existing tag
   3. Blank LV 7.0 VI contains two tags
         1. NI.LV.ALL.VILastSavedTarget (string "Dflt")
         2. NI.LV.ALL.goodSyntaxTargets (1-D array of string [1], [ 0]
            -> "Dflt")
   4. If remove above tags, they are rewritten when VI is saved
   5. Could not get Set Tags to change more than 1 tag
         1. Empty
         2. Regular expression
         3. Beginning
   6. Password protected Vis
         1. Tags can be written to and read from password protected files
         2. Tag information is NOT encrypted

As you can see from item 5) I could not get the methods to change more 
than one tag, although the name and output would indicate that it 
should.  My hope was that they would operate on the VI's callee's but 
that is not the case.

The installation is currently windows but I could post a zip file if 
that is readable on the other platforms (I haven't had time to figure 
out how to create a package).  Here are the links:
