We are aiming too high.  Even my previous post about web services and
blah blah blah was waaay too ambitious.

(Programming in Ruby does not make things easier when one has to come
back to earth and earthly expectations.  Shame on you, matz. ;-) )

I guess that whoever has got a machine with a permanent connection
could easily set up an ftp server and a bunch of accounts and there
would be the repository.

Things could be organized like /additions/agreed/xarray.rb,
/additions/agreed/xstring.rb etc. for those additions of general use
and agreed implementation, and /additions/joe/xstring.rb,
/additions/john/xarray.rb etc. for personal additions (either for
review for the /agreed dir or just for sharing).

I hate to make proposals I cannot start myself to make real, but on a
33.6k phone connection I'm not a good candidate. :-(
