Don't know yet. With luck, I may find out.

I can think of two ways to approach software that wants to be part of, and supported by, an economic network:
1. find an economic network and create some software that the network will like and use,
or,
2. create an economic network at (roughly) the same time as creating the software.

We're trying both approaches and we'll see which (or both) works for us.

Agreed. Better yet, or maybe this is part of what you meant, create the repo as part of an economic network that also provides for its own material and other needs.
