If a joint repository is it too good then we lose our momentum to strive
for main. So, yes, it should help getting bits communicated, for bcbio
(https://github.com/bcbio/bcbio-nextgen) now and on my side it seems
like there is nf-core (https://github.com/nf-core), next.
So, I think I will basically do what Andreas has already done, just on a
machine that is on the net and then please PM me if you want ssh access
to that to add your own packages to the same repository.
Best,
Steffen
