In Part 02 of our talk with Jim Routh, Jim talks about the history of components, the original idea behind a component repository and where we are today. His observation that GitHub has become the defacto location for mobile developers is an interesting one, but it still begs the question: Who is going to vet the components?

07:20 Who will vet the components in a universal repository
08:37 Repository of choice for mobile developers
