To some extent the link is already in place, with Lua not needing any form of download and construction projects appearing fully-formed whenever a server is joined. But these links are thin and one-way. I can’t use that SWEP myself unless I can get the source code to it, and that means downloading it from a website. Similarly, I can’t save the contraption my mate just made (and in a multiplayer game neither for that matter can he) for later use without one of the more advanced community-built Lua scripts going around. And if I don’t connect to a server running something, I’m unlikely to ever know that it exists. An integrated solution would allow me to download anything I saw, assuming the server operator allowed it, and at the other level widen the breadth of sharing by removing the limitation of needing to be on a server where content is in use to discover and acquire it. Happily, it may be that such a system is already on the way, depending on the flexibility of Valve’s upcoming P2P distribution system.
