I've considered setting up a wiki page or similar to serve this purpose for

If we can find a way to do this, and to cut through the clutter of all of the
other information, it would be very helpful IMO. I'm not sure where it would
start, though.

Well, this is entirely premature for the schedule I had in mind -- I had hoped to add one or two more example sets before exposing this widely -- but this thread is too timely to ignore.

If you all promise to keep in mind that it is only a /very/ rough and formative effort, please take a look at:

   <http://bbiw.net/trac/suites/>

I believe what it's trying to do is exactly what you are asking for. It's in trac wiki form because it's intended for eventual adoption by the IETF tools site. I've been pursuing the activity somewhat like I did for the Outcomes wiki, although this is proving to be much more effort: getting the design right and adding initial data is more complicated.

If this does not match what you folks have in mind, my understanding why would be helpful. If it does seem to be in the right direction, what changes would you like to see?
