I like this idea. It helps leaverage non-Sys3 contributions.
Re. factoring out common contributions, I've often read about:
http://www.math.tau.ac.il/~guy/Oberon/sources.html
which apparently was (is often) unavailable/off-line.
It looks brilliant (well laid out) eg. an extract:------
V4
* [13]CAD Tools for Hardware Design
* Collections of V4 packages-
+ Linz
Many packages, TextElems, Utilities, Examples etc...
[14]Index, [15]FTP.
Some applications, the products of various [16]Research
projects are available:
o [17]Dialogs - A GUI package
o [18]Network - Network and threads support modules.
o [19]Oberon-D - Adds support for persistance to V4.
o [20]ODBC support for V4
o [21]Runtime-Debugger, Profiler, Program Visualization
and more...
o [22]Slicing Tool
+ [23]ETH
...

---------------
Is sourceforge going to offer anything that ethz can't/won't ?
Is this further fragmentation ?
