That is interesting. How do you envision that for the moment ? As a "Web distribution" with it's own management system that integrate with existing backend and frontend tools ? Or more like a collection of integrated stacks ?

I think a collection of integrated stack would be very interesting. Much like we have small recovery linux distribution, server distribution and desktop-oriented distribution. Like, distrib of webservice, of webservice + frontend framework + end-to-end stack java (thinking GWT or Zk here), ...

Exactly, something like that. I think nowadays we have enough little projects to choose from, so we can create a distribution with central package management and plugin architecture (based on npm?) and a list of curated packages + documentation/tutorials on how to tie everything together. So for example there could be bootstrap + angular + express.js on node + mongodb + debian. Building + testing + deployment infrastructure should come out of the box.

Meteor is trying to create something like this, but I feel the focus should be more to integrate community projects (they say they do, but in reality they don't), not building everything from the scratch.

Do please let me know if you build this or find something existing like this. As a non-web developer, I am interested in something that lets me supply only the things I need to supply for my specific application/website even if that involves writing some code for the business logic.
