Currently, no.. But I would like to see the applications have a controlled
app_id assigned by a controlling agency, simliar to the IETF numbers is
assigning to OID's.  That way we could build a central repository of
apps/services similiar to a UDDI/WDDI on maybe www.phpgroupware.org and
mirrors.

ie. A couple of clicks by an administrator, the system could do an
xml-rpc request listing apps that are in the repository and not
currently installed on their system.  A couple more clicks, and they 
download the .bzip2/.tgz/whatever and it installs the app.

Just rambling at this point, but all of this is possible.

I've haphazardly started writing a class to help in managing some of this
from a client/server perspective.
