Hi all!

I absolutely agree that we should have great and useful stuff within the 
library itself.
More materials and more primitives would be good.

More esoteric things could go in 'additional packages'.

A resources page for people who want to contribute their own packages 
and classes is a good idea.

If the functionality fits in the library, it could be repackaged, 
otherwise it stays as an extension.
I could think of a server based 3D business graphics package as an 
example of an extension.
