We could, if its legal with the licenses, set up a CVS or Subversion repository too, either on SourceForge or privately, and make it act just like an open source project. Then, people can all contribute to the same code .
HOWEVER, this will likely have the effect of one of the following: 1. No one likes how the item works, and changes it and checks it in. The person relying on it checks out the latest code and BAM. 2. The above happens, but people branch off their own versions, and then you're back to everyone being different. 3. Someone becomes the appointed "Code Master" and is in charge of the community's code to help police the above and help keep everything running. I'd love to see such a thing exist though - not neccessarily because I want to use someone's object, but because I want to see how they coded it. And potentially fix bugs in it. Then again, does Valve's license allow such a group as the "Half Life Open Source Group" exist or publish their code?
