I think it's a great idea. There are already many many circuit
repositories across the net, enough for anybody to build almost any synth
they could imagine.. but they're either unorganized groups of messages 
(like hyperreal) or a small number of gifs/jpgs in somebodys directory
(like most everybody else, which is GOOD, but there's no linked structure
between them).

There's no real COMPLETE repository. This complete repository we're
talking about could be either on-line or in hardcopy, or both. Both have
advantages and disadvantages, but I think at least some sort of baseline
collection for synth modules using common parts is in order.
