Of course there is. The most difficult thing seems sometimes to be the authors of different packages to work together so we can get the best out of it without the burden of many similar packages. Getting things together and comparing is very difficult and takes time however so it is not surprising. There is a page on EmacsWiki about the available packages. Maybe cleaning up and rewriting that page can be a good start?
