	~~==== What Is GCentral.org? ====~~
	~~:GCentral.org is~~

	~~a non profit organization (incorporated September 2019)~~
	~~composed of G community leaders~~
	~~creating a platform for programmers to find/use, contribute, and co-develop G code packages and collaboration resources.~~

	~~GCentral is leading the charge to reduce the friction in collaboration felt by the G programmer community, and will align its efforts with the community's needs.~~

	~~=== Is GCentral just an aggregation of repos? ===~~
	In addition to solving other problems, GCentral solves the problem of G programmers attempting to find an use each other's code. GCentral provides a single web interface that indexes the common repositories of all three package managers to present packages of all types through a single interface.

	~~=== Why is the G programmer community not using a single repository? ===~~
	Our community has a long history, members with different preferences/use cases, and members with varying awareness of community resource locations. This has led to different methods of package/code distribution as well as different package manager technologies.

	~~Here are the major locations of code today:~~
	~~1. ni.com community forums as attachments~~
	~~2. lavag.org as attachments~~
	~~3. The NI Tools Network~~
	~~4. JKI Package Network~~
	~~5. NI Tools Network~~
	~~6. GPackage.io~~
	~~7. Git Repos~~

	~~Each of the above have various advantages, disadvantages, and capabilities.~~
	~~NI.com~~
	NI.com has been around the longest and has the infrastructure investment of National Instruments. The NI.com allows users to easily post files, code snippets, .llbs, .ppls, vips, nipkgs, etc. Many users are first acquainted with the NI community through ni.com

	ni.com allows you to attach files and is probably the most popular community site. So when the VI Package manager arrived, people who didn't want to go through the validation process of the LabVIEW Tools Network simply attached packages to ni.com forum posts. Oh yeah... there's the NI Tools network: a repository of code validated and certified by NI. The Tools Network is in the VI Package format. Then there is the JKI Tools Network (also VI Package format), which is publicly readable but not publicly writable. We also have lavag.org, which is another community forum that allows users to attach files suck as VI packages. The LabVIEW Tools Network

	in the early 2010's NI introduced a new package manager for a variety of reasons. There is no public repository of NI Packages, but NI Package Manager exposes the products and packages created by NI. NI Package manager also allows someone to create their own private repository

	~~There are different preferences and experience levels of our community. So some people aren't aware of lavag.org and have posted all of their code on~~
