A great idea, and it's the idea behind orionsupport. A lot of people say
'lets contribute', but when push comes to shove, what tends to happen is
that that enthusiasm is dulled by actually having to do work, and that
just being enthusiastic isn't enough.
Orionsupport hasn't gone anywhere, from what I can see the server is down
for the time being, but I'm sure it'll be back up soon. It'd be good if
people who have servers/bandwidth to donate could get in touch with those
who run orionsupport and offer mirroring services.
Also, why not write a nice J2ee app that lets people post 'success
stories', or even 'hints and tips'? If people had actual content/code to
contribute, I can't imagine that orionsupport will refuse to host it! They
even took my crappy hastily written DataSourceUserManager notes and posted
them!
