Agreed, and I found this community to be the one of the more civilized
places on earth....

I think that Darren with his OMRL project plans to do something like
this, there has been a long thread some week ago on this list. He
began with the idea of a free/open sample-loop library but IIRC there
were also talks about softsynth patches.
And, if I could add my 2 cents, I think it would be great to have also
MIDI loops (particulary drum loops) and soundfonts.

Yeah! we're on the road to world domination!
