I second WanWizard: with RapidDataMapper, DataMapper Overzealous and Doctrine there's 3 very good choices and AR will do fine for lots of users.
Also agree on the addons website part, had the intention of creating one (already registered codeignitershare.com) but with an unexpected heavy workload in the summer period I never got round to it (but as more work = more money, I'm not complaining
).
The problem with both the Wiki and the forums is that the code is divided between the 2. There's no really good categorizing because the wiki isn't really moderated. The forums aren't that good either because they're not categorized at all in Ignited Code. And stuff gets lost in the massiveness of the forums once its older then a week and hasn't been commented upon, which is a shame as there's a lot of good code which you just don't need at the precise moment it's posted but might find very useful later on.
Also on the wiki stuff there's rarely good discussion about the code (which are actually on the forums) which makes it hard to assess the code quality and user experience without reading the whole code yourself.
It would be nice to have a website where libraries, helpers, tutorials etc could be shared, categorized, commented on, reviewed and rated. That would really improve the accessability of what the CI community has to offer.
