I'm not sure it has to be that big of an effort. Most of the work is already being performed. From my previous examples we have projects like twitter bootstrap and htm5 boilerplate being created for the infrastructure, and surrounding that people are creating templates for various frameworks. In the middle we have organizations like google to keep it all accessible to the people gluing it together. Provided even a remote possibility of being indexed and somewhat intelligently filtered I'm sure google will solve the search part. So what's needed could be just the right type of glue for automating scaffolding and bootstrap tasks in a more general sense and some software to take advantage of it. Given that this software makes some step easier for people it could be enough to direct efforts toward formalizing the required meta data. And then you iterate :) BR, John _______________________________________________ fonc mailing list fonc@vpri.org http://vpri.org/mailman/listinfo/fonc
