I think the idea of having an online data bank of parameter
would be very useful.  IMHO, all that would be necessary would
be a detailed description of each parameter set along with
methods of usage, I don't think this would have to be more than
say 5 pages of text.  Along with this description would be the
actual parameter set.  I don't think the methods used to derive
the parameter need given, and only references to the literature
be listed.  

I think it would also be useful if working summaries/recipes for
various common algorithms be available at the same site.  
If this basic set were done first than and the actual parameter
sets could use this as a reference to shorten the detailed descriptions.
