Right now, it's hard to tell which extensions in the Library work with the latest Inform. They have version numbers, but often things written for an old version will work in a new version, so that's no guarantee.
I'm not sure the best way to improve things, but the obvious ideas off the top of my head are:
Let readers click a button to mark an extension as "not working with latest version" (or optionally, working with a particular Inform 7 version, but I find that approach rarely works). I would suggest without an account, until proven needed.
Proactively check that each extension compiles every time a new Inform version is released. Maybe email the author if it starts failing. Someday this could be extended to have a standard format unit test written by the extension author. Since there are only <150 extensions this doesn't seem crazy, and would be a nice step in the direction of a standard library someday too.
I'm a total Inform newbie with wild ideas, hope this thought might inspire something.
