It's natural/easy, when one has been working extensively on
a project, to discount the the lowest, most trivial aspects,
like a description of what it is.

That's why I think every 'contribution directory' should have a
ReadMe file.

In order to capture these mind-dumbing but essential details,
[which IMO are equivalent to syntax] I believe in form-based
assistance. Like N-O's *.Tool acts as a prompt for the trivial details.

Debian eg. seems to have a good set of guidelines for the human
collaboration protocol. Once a project has been running for years
with multiple collaborators. The 'organisation' should have
evolved solutions, which are written down, for the repeating 
problems. 

It seems that ETH source files eg. have the 'Copyright, portable or not, 
date' fields'.
I believe that other fields could be added.
Formally - like a syntax.
Hence forms based. Ie. think/design once and use multiple times ?
------------

URI seems to suggest use of DNS ?
I'm not aware of any DNS problems with N-O usage.
Is this perhaps not for N-O ?

Thanks,
