I started this discussion to talk about how would be the best way to distribute asciidoctor backends.

We have talked about one gem which contains all possible backends, or multiple gems one for each backend.

From my point of view one gem for backend would be the desirable approach, but maybe the development of backends could be a bit more complicated. But on the other hand user will only download the templates are going to use. For example it seems that does not have much sense that if I want to develop slides with deckjs, I have to download dzslide, impress, reveal, html5, docbook, ...

For now we must download the github repository, copy it to a folder and call asciidoctor with -T option.
