Consequently, IMHO, the question of whether HC _should_ include

The critical question, then, is how to create an environment that
allows
(nay, encourages!) frameworks to be created, tested, polished,
documented,
indexed, shared, etc. My intuition is that GitHub should be part of
this,
because it promotes free-flowing cooperation, merging, etc.
However, I'm
quite sure that GitHub isn't the entire solution. So, ideas are
welcome!
I think that's fairly self-evident, no? If HC enables the quick and
easy creation of modules/frameworks/softwareICs/callemwhateveryoulike
to such an extent that we start seeing any sort of proliferation of
them then "packaging and general husbandry" becomes the first and most
immediate concern. Maybe RubyGems provides the appropriate packaging
abstraction already, or perhaps that's too coarse-grained (I have no
idea how "GEM space" is partitioned or otherwise managed, but I'd
imagine there's a limit somewhere) and we need gem fragments
(splinters?) that HC supports for itself. I dunno.
