We talked about that this morning with Jeremy at the GT: how about
creating a "contrib" directory in our repository, for stuff that we
want to stay available, without being directly tied to our releases.
This could contain:
-example apps like bricks-cms
-blocks that we'd like to remove from 2.2 yet keep around, but
without any guarantees
-useful tools: raccoon, etc.
-more?
Decoupling this stuff from releases would make it easier to release
more often, and draw a better line between critical, fully supported
stuff and more experimental or legacy stuff.
WDYT?

+1, but there's also a "sandbox"
where?
and "scratchpad"
The scratchpad block is not such a good idea IMO. It put together
various things that not belong together. It would IMO be better to
replace it with a couple of blocks in contributed or whiteboard, each
with a well defined concern area.
and "whiteboard",
Whiteboard is supposed to be used for personal experiments. You can
start to do things in whiteboard without needing the community to
approve it. I think we should emphasize the "one man show" aspect of
projects in white board by prefixing them with the developer creating
them, e.g. whiteboard/danielf/osgi. That will also make it easier to
remove them for people who leave the community.
so make sure they have well defined intentions or they should be
removed to avoid confusion.
contributed would be for blocks that we want to be available from us but
doesn't have much community support. IMO a rather large share of our
current blocks would belong to contributed.
