Given the increasing number of people using views etc., I'm going to set up a module called something like 'stormviews' which can store examples of views, including any contributed ones.

The way other projects handle this is at installation time they check for views and if there they install a bunch of them but don't enable them.
It would save on an additional module, just a thought.

Done a bit more reading and stumbled across the Views API Reference on how to provide default views for modules

Yes, it might be better to put them in with their 'home' modules rather than putting a new module in. I was thinking of allowing a load of contributed views for people to work from though, if it was part of the module I might vet them a little more carefully.

It wouldn't need a check for views though as if views was present it would fire the views hooks, and if it wasn't then it wouldn't.

As Mark says, default views would be better in the relevant modules so marking to won't fix.
