OK I'll put in the COPYLEFT stuff into the source, will take a while to digest 
it
though.

Do I simply post the source to this mailing list?

Seems what you end up with is a i/net version of TAATOOLS.
Perhaps u dont need to put all the stuff on one site, whats really needed is a
site that is like an index to the shared software that can then be accessed via
hyperlinks from site to site.
>From a quick look at GNU they have a list of tasks that can be worked on.  A
typical project is basically just such a list. A specification for a project
would break it up into a set of tasks.
When all the tasks are adopted by someone then the project becomes viable, still
the big hurdle remains 'who will do the final integration test' and make sure it
all hangs together. Perhaps the project designer who would then feedback any
necessary suggestions for correction.

This code sharing stuff is much more complicated that it seems as shown by the
GNU site.
