Hi, guys! While trying to architect and develop my own configuration management platform I came to an idea to create a site/api where vendors and community in general can add commands and switches/flags/arguments for install and uninstall the software. That should be a 'database' available to everyone who want to automatize the software (un)installation.

As every installer has its own command args which differ between each others, this API would help to standardize a software (un)installation and finally make possible to have one 'task' in Ansible, or whatever, to install all needed software.

I wanted to know your opinion on this idea before I start working on it (or to give up).
