If we continue to think 100% generically we'll never hold all the permutations in Wiki, let alone out heads, and we'll fluster ourselves paralysis. It is clear that Java has a set of requirements, a style, that do not fit other languages. We can't do it all. I feel we could/should unashamedly complete our thoughts on Java, then go and recruit some per-language specialists to chime in on their flavour. Maybe we'll have one repository 'class' with per language sub-classes. Let's mature what we can agree upon before we specialize & determine what we can't. [If we have a Java repository separate from a C++ one, so be it, but N better than 0. Heck, separate might be easiest management anyway.] Just my two cents... regards, Adam
