Erwin,
Anyway, as a start it might be worth thinking about a central web based material depository where we all can share our own creations. The display format can be a simple list with mat, cal, pic files and a little preview.
Anyone interested in starting that?
There is a site in Japan doing something rather similar:

Just pipe it through an on-line translator. There are a handful of
different pages. It seems that all examples are from freely available
example models and mailing list posts.
