Sounds like a good idea to me too.
And in response to some other comments, being hosted at Felix does not
make it in any way tied to Felix...we try to make all of our bundles
work everywhere, otherwise what would be the point of calling them
bundles or even talking about Felix and OSGi in the same sentence...

I am having a small utility bundle called FileInstall that is becoming
quite popular. It is watching a directory and will install any files
in that directory in the framework as a bundle or a configuration. It
is probably one of the most trivial management agents. However, it
makes managing a framework surprisingly easy. For example, you can
just download a file from the web and save it in the watched
directory.

I wonder if the Felix group is interested in owning this as part of
the Felix project? In that case I can donate the sources to Apache and
will remove it from my website.
Kind regards,
