Why not have community library? A code repository where almost anyone
will get commit-access. This would be used as a dumping ground for code
used more or less as a wiki.

This could then be used to generate some webpages where "beautiful"
examples and libraries could be showcased and discussed.

This could be an area where possible candidates for Scalas standard
library could be evaluated.

This could be used as community maintained utility library where such
things as the nonNull thing Jon posted could used in peoples projects.

(Wouldn't this be a security risk? As long as people take responsibility
for validating the code they use and the community keeps an eye on the
commit list I don't think it would be to hard to keep going)
