So maybe change SM instead of writing something new besides it? What you  
want looks like a sort of distributed SM, where people can opt to add  
their stuff to 'the central catalog' for some value of 'the central  
catalog'. Not?

I'm all for burning diskpacks (not paper - disk packs smoke better), but  
also for leveraging what we've got.

I think SM catalog cards should be objects that can travel around the  
world, inserted into catalog collections at will, and if SM browser then  
allows the user to select what catalog(s) she wants to view, you've come a  
long way, not? Most of that is probably already there in some latent form,  
just needs to get a firm kick in the butt :)
