I believe that it would be limiting. I explain: as it is an open project, every time the repo access is improved, kicad will need to be changed, which is not good. This can be avoided it it is done by a plugin :) ------ I have been following this thread, an I have one idea (FWIW): there should me an "entity" recognizeable by kicad, probably exportable in XML format that should contain: payload: one and only one component or module either for eeschem or pcbnew information: name, tags, description, *images* (maybe more than one for 3D), author, etc.. And Kicad should be able to recongnize, import and export such "entities" . My idea is based in that this can make it possible to make a usefull repository of all this, possibly even in "Google apps engine" :) Oh! and it is very important to clearly specify the Licence (something like MPL) right from the begining, or it may become a problem...
