I think GitHub could be a great place to store/share stacks. Here is an example 
of what is possible:
https://github.com/bwmilby/lc-misc/tree/master/NestedDGBehavior

That is a binary stack but includes a readme.md that links to a screen shot and 
all scripts are exported from the stack and are viewable online (main ones 
linked in the readme). I use ScriptTracker (same repo) to export the stack 
scripts but have seen other tools that can generate text files too. That way 
people can browse the code and if they want to download they just need to get 
the one stack file to have everything.

I agree that just putting a stack on GitHub isn’t going to help people have any 
idea what they are viewing.

Thanks,
Brian
