Dude, you need a social life! :-)
a *what*?
implementing these things, so I am a bit scared to make comments.
I am glad you gave me some comments.
Still... I'm not sure how you handle versioning at the moment (it would be nice if the database/fs could store older versions of stuff as well),
OK, versioning should be easy. I'll store archives like t-layout-2004.12.24.zip (<prefix>-<version>.zip).
and it makes sense to allow/create downloads of "TDS-ed" zip files for easy installation.
There are some design decisions to be made:
a simple module would consist of t-foo.tex and foobar.pdf as a
documentation. This can be stored directly in the tds way. But there
are more complicated modules that have stuff in texmf/.... and also
some scripts/whatever. So I currenty opt for
simple module:
--------------
t-layout-....zip:
texmf/tex/context/
