I’ve started a repo with what I have in mind. It’s still lacking the tools to extract and reassemble .epe files - but is a start that can evolve to become a backing store for the pattern site.
In the repo you’ll find an example that outlines my current thinking.
So a tool that takes .epe files and generates files in this structure would help update the repo from a PB authored pattern. I think @jeff’s extract tool is a good start.
A tool could be made that assembles these pieces into an .epe file as well.
At some point the pattern sharing site could be integrated, such that main-line changes are updated and uploads to the website create automatic PRs.
What do you think?
