STON is easier because : 

- you do not need to load a package to know a project spec.
- you can edit it from outside, then participation is easier (in particular, 
people can add PRs and one can edit an STON file even in github site).

yet, yes… regardless the choice we should have a “publish” plugin in iceberg.

but if they do not care to put their project in the cataog (whatever it is), is 
mostly sure they will not care to make it loadable (then validation is futile).

btw… this query will give us all projects on github that with filetree format: 

https://github.com/search?q=filename%3A.filetree+.package&type=Code&ref=advsearch
 
<https://github.com/search?q=filename:.filetree+.package&type=Code&ref=advsearch>
 (1531, but it will match each .filetree appearance so they are a lot less… )

and this one in tonel: 

https://github.com/search?q=filename%3A.properties+tonel&type=Code&ref=advsearch
 
<https://github.com/search?q=filename:.properties+tonel&type=Code&ref=advsearch>
 (just 49 for now :(, but unique repositories :P)

we can put those links in pharo README to make them easier to find… but of 
course this does not covers bitbucket or gitlab (they may have a public search 
API, but I don’t know it)… best approach is to have a catalog.

> May be we need a crawler?

we can, but we cannot know what is there in fact. 
btw… before we had sthub, but also ss, ss3 and others, so it was never clear 
about not published projects.

Cargo is orthogonal to the need of a centralised repository. 
Yes, its idea is to provide one… but we will need a central repo, always.
