Xtracycle is using Media Wiki software for their open source long tail standard. The Long Tail frame standard and dimensions are now available as PDF downloads, with a design checklist document also available. There’s also room for discussion on product ideas, with a reminder that “while Xtracycle isn’t here to steal your ideas, anything you put on here is now open-source and as such is available for everyone to use freely.”
