I sent a mail note to the guy from MKS suggesting that they make the vi
macros publicly accessible and received a (very nice) reply basically
saying that they had no immediate plans for doing so for a variety of 
reasons.

[...don't flame yet, whatever they can include is a plus over what
	is available now...]

I'd personally LOVE to see any macros that are submitted as long as they
have descriptions re: what the heck they're doing and how and why and...

Is there anyone who can assemble some kind of a FAQ file of vi macros
or provide anon ftp, etc. for all the goodies that are out there
somewhere?

While donating goodies to them for inclusion in a proprietary package
isn't necessarily bad, making them definitely publicly accessible 
would be definitely wonderful...
