Ok, a more practical example: We at Ulster have a shared account on GitHub called "uu-isrc-robotics". We started with one repository, called uu-isrc-robotics-pr2-pkgsthat contained one stack and some packages in the stack. When we released the rubik's cube solver code,I decided to keep it separate from the other stacks (to avoid people having to pull a lot of code they don't need). I guess this will become common practice in the future, say Berkely stack becomes a collection of several stacks hosted by the same user (but not in the same repository). Now the problem is that every time we release a new stack, we'll have to notify ros-users, get a confirmation, and wait for the the crawler to find the new stack. So my idea would be to have a crawler that monitors a user account (for example "uu-isrc-robotics ") and automatically finds and indexes which repositories contain stacks.
