User contributions

[a r]

Is there any plan for making user contributions to Electric
development easier? What is missing, is a community based platform for
exchanging designs, libraries, configurations, scripts and patches
that are not necessarily suitable for upstream.

There are two ideas that look sensible to me:
- (simple) setting up an Electric wiki (or similar solution),
- (more complex) modifying Electric to run as a Web Start application
and integrating it with above mentioned wiki. It wouldn't have to be
as hard as it seems at first as Electric already has some relevant
features (implemented in java, built in revision control etc). This
could open a possibility to create a platform for exchanging
electronic designs (think YouTube for EE's)
