Dmitry I completely agree.
Firstly, we need a place for the cartridges to live. I would assume that these aren't necessarily all going to live in the core codebase. So what about setting up a github repo for these. I also would suggest we start by actually creating a bunch ourselves and then asking the relevant teams for help in validating. So for example, we have already seen e.g. MongoDB cartridges, so maybe we could publish a Mongo cartridge and then get feedback from the Mongo team on what we can do to tweak it. Another useful thing is from a marketing point of view would be to jointly publish blogs on how to use these cartridges.
