Doesn't our "welcome" document already suggest some file(s?) that new 
users should add themselves too (I forgot the name)? If so, maybe we can 
make that our central "user (developer) database" where "everything" is 
created from.

No idea what "everything" exactly is, but investigating this a bit more 
before rushing it in may be worthwhile in the long run.

In general, I like the idea of keeping data in 1 place, and this is 
definitely a good step!
