I think that there should be recipes for all basic redstone logic gates. These compact gates should occupy one block for most efficient circuitry. For example, a compact AND gate which would occupy one block would have three ports for input/output, each on a different side of the block. The user would be able to program which two ports would act as input receivers, which by default would make the third port the output. The ON/OFF states of the redstone wires linking directly into input receivers would determine the output according to the type of logic gate. NAND gates, XOR gates, and XNOR gates would have the same layout, but obviously their logic would be different.
An inverter (NOT gate) would have four ports. Because there would be four ports, the player can have two sets of redstone current intersecting each other. The player would be able to program to which outputs each input would correspond. Here's a rough sketch of the NOT gate (shown as a black box) that I drew:
Red lines represent redstone wire in the ON state, and brown lines represent redstone wire in the OFF state. In the diagram input A affects output A and input B affects output B (the dotted lines link corresponding wires). Note that the input would also accept OFF redstone wire thus making the output ON. For simplicity's sake, I made all input ON.
Finally, NOR gates would have four ports, one on each side, one of which would be designated as the output. If there should be a need for more inputs for one output, the user would simply design a network of NOR gates until the number of desired inputs was achieved.
Supported Logic Gates:
• NOT
• NOR
• AND
• NAND
• XOR
• XNOR

Survival Islands Challenge: Four islands and a vast ocean... can YOU survive?
They can't take up 1 block, unfortunately. That would make things too complicated; you'd have to space out all the redstone wires so they don't connect to each other JUST so you can make thing go to the 3 sides. It's best to have another block called a "logic input block" and a "logic output block". You'd arrange them like this:

=gateblock = output block = input block.
That's a very good idea!

And input, or output block could be made like this( =redstone, =a material of your choice): =2 input.
=4 output.

Why does everyone think I don't have an avatar? Is there anyone who can see the one black pixel.
Please click the dragons, they need to grow. Also, my fully grown dragons can be found in my bio.

blew me up with all my stuff
I lost my clock

I lost my very special bow
Creeper Creeper blew me up,

oh creeper how I hate you so,
to heck with you away you go!
Not is just an inverter, nor is an or wired to a not, and xnor is xor wire to not.
XOR would be hard to put it in, but I support it if notch finds a way to add it in.
