Aug 17, 2010 at 7:54 comment added Torsten Ekedahl As far as I know the "extension panachée" theory is only presented in the reference to SGA that I gave. I don't know of any reference that extends this to the central extension case. As far as I can see the only terminology I made up is CEXTP (if I recall correctly Grothendieck uses CEXT for central extensions, note that he uses all capital letters to denote the category of somethings). I guess I should also take (not very much) credit for naming the very useful WECIB-principle :-) By the way I think I was too pessimistic of extending the method to general $n$, it seems to more or less extend.
Aug 16, 2010 at 15:03 comment added Vipul Naik @Torsten: This looks potentially very useful, but I don't have a good background in this area. Could you give some references to expositions on the background ideas here, and also perhaps point out more explicitly which of the terminology you've made up, and which of it was made up by others? Thanks a lot. Thanks for taking the time to think about this.
