What we could do in a 'different' way? Develop and open source market-hub, where you don't 'add' your content but 'subscribe' items stored in your personal account. This way people could run various custom hubs, and everyone could 'subscribe' to any number of them per item...

I've bugged guys from (currently non open source) http://giftflow.org about it here:

But having some reference implementations could come useful here!

How about using a wiki page for curating our ideas? (as Daniel suggested... thx!)
