+1 to the Alec's idea
+1 to PARCELPATH

I could create a quick-build tinderbox for the new directory - I'm hesitant to have any source code in the OSAF tree that doesn't run thru at least a daily build.

If we do go this route, I would suggest that PARCELDIR become PARCELPATH so that it can include a list of directories to use. That way I could still point at my personal parcel directory and this new 'extensions' directory.

I'd like to propose a new toplevel directory within the chandler tree.

Originally, I wanted to call it "sdk" or "examples" because I wanted to place a skeleton parcel there that anyone could easily pull down and build themselves, without it living in the parcels directory (and thus being picked up by chandler - you may have already noticed a "start here" app in parcels/osaf/examples that defines some pretty goofy Kind's)

But I realized that it might be a nice place for us to put some work-in-progress parcels, or other sort of sample-apps, without hooking them into chandler and being tied to a product release or anything.

So I'd like to propose this new toplevel directory and call it "extensions" - it would NOT be part of the build process, but it would be pulled down by CVS. It would be structured in such a way that you could set PARCELDIR to point to it, and Chandler would pick up the extensions. If an extension ever became a full-fledged chandler feature, then we'd move it out of extensions/ and into parcels/

 Let me know if you agree, object, or just have a better name.
