I know this has been touched on before, but here's a thought (and it's just a thought!).
Could we set up a materials library download section that users would have the ability to add to? I'm not suggesting that users can upload, but that they can submit a material for approval - if approved it could be uploaded.
I've seen systems before where users can upload to a material library and it quickly becomes very messy with poorly constructed and duplicate materials. It is important that users have confidence in the materials properties when assigning to an object eg. the right IOR value for Polycarbonate etc. - this will aid work flow.
I think I've read on the forum that there will be a more comprehensive materials library in the fully released version, but I was just thinking how we could we help in it's construction (especially as there is so few hours in the days for the developers!! )
As I say, just a thought?
