One of the problems, as I see it, is there isn't a central library that users can upload to, as well as browse. The old rapideuphoria did this in it's old cumbersome way, but there has never been an agreement or real desire to reproduce this. If only we had a a larger user base.
Definitely a Catch-22 problem there. I do want to reproduce The Archive but it has to be done intentionally and not organically as it was. The great thing about The Archive was that anyone could upload their project. The worst thing about The Archive was that anyone could upload their project. We need a baseline template and standard packaging structure to help ensure compatibility and installation on any system. We also need baseline requirements for versioning, unit testing, documentation, etc. And package owners need to be held accountable for the continued upkeep of their projects. If you're providing a wrapper for libfoobar the you'd better be keeping it up to date with libfoobar. And if a package owner can't do that, we need to be able to share ownership so that it can be kept up to date.
