This is interesting, but I am not sure that I would have done it with multiple repos. Why not build a single repo with a convention for adding/updating works. As it sits right now, there are 2100+ pages of repos. It also means that in order for me to contribute to more than one of these, I'll need to pollute my own account with multiple forked repos.

From another perspective, one repo should allow you to gain more traction as all stars/forks/pull requests/commits will be aggregated on it, and thus produce higher visibility on GitHub (and probably anything that scans github stats).
Additionally, using a single repo would allow me to fork and specify my own styles that I want applied to any work I "compile", and these might be hyper-specific.
I'm actually willing to help consolidate these repos if you're willing to go in this direction. I'd also like to hear reasoning for multiple repos if there's something I'm missing.
