Greetings! I'm finally going to officially announce what I've been working on for a good while. Unfortunately I got a bit side-tracked and it sat, unfinished for longer than it should have. However, I feel it is strong enough to launch even with a few bugs (I assume) and some 'Coming Soon' pages. Without further adieu...
Point of Impact
A collection of all things related to the Impact game engine for developers
http://www.pointofimpactjs.com
---
Games
A gallery of Impact created games. It includes everything you need to market your game including links to play it online, sell on the iTunes App Store/Android Market and include source code (if you wish).
Community Docs
A community driven Wiki which we've ported over the full impact docs (thanks samgreen) and provided a place to organize anything we may need to for Impact development. The documentation and anything else on the Wiki are fully searchable.
Tutorials
A collection of tutorials specifically for Impact development. Tutorials can be linked to existing tutorials on external websites or created right on the website with full BBCode formatting including photos, code syntax highlighting and source uploads.
Code Snippets
A repository of code snippets for Impact. There are many snippets of code that get reused. Now we can try to keep track of all of them! Features code syntax coloring and source code upload.
Plugins
We desperately need a place to keep track of all the great plugins that have been created for Impact. Now we can find them all in one place complete with descriptions and usage instructions. Download (or retrieve from remote URL) and you are on your way!
Other Site Features
All resources include a community rating system, threaded comments and a way to bookmark and keep track of your favorites. Soon I'll have full RSS feeds of each resource to easily keep up-to-date with the latest community additions.
How you can help...
I created this website for the growing Impact development community. That said the website is completely community driven. I ask you to please contribute whatever you can, be it a game you are working on (you can mark it as "In Progress"), a snippet you reuse all the time, a tutorial to help out someone just starting out or a plugin you have created. Together we can create a great resource for all Impact developers that complements the Forums and IRC chat.
Please let me know of any ideas you have or bugs you run into to help improve the site.
Thanks! Get to the Point! ;)

ps. Dominic, I needed some real examples so I took the liberty of adding a few of your things. Hope you don't mind.
