Well, here's my thoughts on an association, and what I'd fine useful. Maybe other people have different priorities, I dunno.
First, who is in the association? I don't see it as an exclusive club, but the simple task of making a list of maintained packages compatible with this Not Really Named stack would be quite useful to people. We could get a trove classifier, and make sure everyone registers it (you don't have to rerelease to change your classifiers). Additionally we could maintain a wiki page with a list and a high-level classification. I expect for instance that there will be several auth systems, and I don't think this is the place to make any clear auth decision. We can just list them. But being actively maintained and participating in this community *is* a prerequisite. We should have some badge or link of some sort, and agree on a place to put it (generally) -- side bar, foot of the page, both, an icon in the top right... there's several options. I'd be open to something more prominent than just a little badge. Those stop-poverty icons in the corner of some pages look nice to me. Damned if I can find one at the moment. From there we might want to consider sharing services and infrastructure. Sphinx is looking nice, and if we all started using it for docs then we might have some opportunity to do more sophisticated things using it (e.g., to cross link). Shared search could be useful. If we want to setup stuff like IRC logging, that can easily be managed once. The wiki situation is also kind of a mess for everyone, and wiki content is the content most likely to be cross-library. These steps seem realistic to me. Right now I don't believe anyone but TG has much money to manage, so I don't have any need for any structure like that.
