Sure, good idea. I'm in! As a first cut, I think we need to separate those tools written in JVM languages (Clojure/Java) and those written in something else.
I certainly think the JVM based projects can, and should, share components. BTW the most important JVM project is Clojure itself. The tools should share as much as possible with the Clojure core sources. Tools such as SLIME and (I think) Gorilla, on the other hand, are not written in language that makes sharing easy. However, I would be very much in favor of a common test set. A collection of Clojure code that can be used to test tools, and ensure common behavior. These would be useful for all tools written in all languages.
