I find no easily location information on actually sharing /usr/share.
It was introduced by Sun in SunOS as a filesystem which could be
shared between all machines on a given release to save disk space.
Disk space is now cheap, but it would be nice to have a common place
to put things shared on a site basis.
That's not what it's for anymore. It's for "architecture-independent
data" and is supposed to be read-only for mortal users.
Currently I use the /common filesystem for my site local stuff, and
I'm thinking that something in the OS would be appropriate to the
original concept for /usr/share, not for disk saving but for
consistency. Since the stuff there doesn't hurt if there is material
present which is not needed, I wonder if I'm missing an obvious tool
to take advantage of this.
whats wrong with nfs?
I believe most of the Linux world goes by the Filesystem Hierarchy
Standard for the most part. The current version is V2.3 and here's a
link to it:

/usr/share is discussed in section 4.11
