Nice idea - but there's some legal problems IMO.
I'd gladly share some more instruments and/or recycled loops that I made by
myself, using *free* samples from the web. But then, the *free* part is
where the problems come in. I suspect a lot of them to be not exactly free
ones (especially a lot of the free soundfonts you can get like anywhere).
Just putting together the EXS patch and pointing people to the used samples
often doesn't work either as I a) often destructively manipulate the samples
to fit better and b) don't even remember where a lot of them were from (5
years of loading samples from the web generates quite a huge amount of stuff
all over the place...).
So, in the end the only method of doing such a thing is generating your own
samples. Personally, I don't have such an option too often - apart from
sampling VSTis, generating other blurbs and noises with whatever
soundgenerators and eventually sampling some guitars.
I had planned to sample some drums and even some horns by myself, but as the
studio of my former university is currently unavailable (I could've recorded
there for free) I don't know how long it'll take.
