The are all appealing, and many are valuable, ideas.  Part of the
problem we're trying to address in the zope community is having a way to
organize the terrific stuff people produce, so we can all really exploit
the potential the the system *and* the community, together, offers.
This concern is, in a substantial part, behind our efforts for better
community-site mechanisms in the "new zope.org" project.  Ever onwards,
