So what is it exactly that we really need?  I've heard mention of De
Re Atari and OS listings and all sorts of good stuff, shadows from the
past.  Which brings to mind...

APX.  Anyone remember the Atari Program Exchange?  From it's demise it
could hardly be construed that it was a bad idea--I see its failure as
the beginning of the end for the 8-bits.  But it was a great thing in
its time, and it produced a lot of quality software for a machine that
didn't attract much development (sound familiar?).

So what we need is the Atari Program Exchange reincarnated, probably
more mature (and thrifty) than it had been in the past.

Any comments on this?
