I believe this was sent to me by mistake, this is a thread of this list...

I think some kind of "meta busybox" project could be started which could
accumulate people's knowledge in sense of supplement scripts and

What do you think?
Can of worms. (Please don't try to turn BusyBox into a Linux distro.)
I believe that it can work if implemented like a wiki. Busybox has a
nice comunity, that does give feedback. A wiki based user contibutions
site somewhere like wikia would be very nice...
You can start another distribution as a separate project, sure. Here on this
list Vladimir Dronnikov has dvv and Christian Micon has detaolb, and there are
plenty of others who just don't usually post about it here. (My own firmware
Linux project is _not_ growing to become a distro, thank you very much. It
has boundaries.) Some of them (like Puppy Linux) grow and prosper. The
largest and longest lasting "one guy does this" distro is probably slackware.
There are also collaborative projects. The uClibc developers spawned
buildroot, and bits of that are used in openwrt, uclinux, and a bunch of
others. Independent lines of development for the embedded world include
gentoo embedded, and emdebian, and the ubuntu "mobile and embedded" project
(although jeos is probably a better starting point), and even Fedora for Arm
(strange but true).
Here's a fun list of once interesting embedded linux open source distro
projects, 80% of which have gone the way of the dodo:

If what you want is an informational resource, Linux From Scratch might be a
better starting point. Before that, there was the "power up to bash prompt
howto" and "linux boot disk howto".
Why don't you try the buildroot list?
