Forgive my laziness: do we have a policy on submissions to the contribs directory?
If not, I propose we require that all contribs be maintained. For example, if we don't hear back about a bug related to a contrib after a certain time, we just ruthlessly delete it. (I've still got my cross-hairs on darcs.cgi for some odd reason.) I think this just reflects a general shift in attitude from trying to support more users to trying to focus more on our core business: for example, fewer GHC versions supported, fewer variants of HTTP libraries. Anything which shrinks our liabilities. Thanks, -- Eric Kow <http://www.nltg.brighton.ac.uk/home/Eric.Kow> PGP Key ID: 08AC04F9

If it's going to be deleted, will there an official recommendation about an alternate web-based repo browser to use instead?
