If a joint repository is it too good then we lose our momentum to strive for main. So, yes, it should help getting bits communicated, for bcbio (https://github.com/bcbio/bcbio-nextgen) now and on my side it seems like there is nf-core (https://github.com/nf-core), next. So, I think I will basically do what Andreas has already done, just on a machine that is on the net and then please PM me if you want ssh access to that to add your own packages to the same repository. Best, Steffen
