Didn't Groundworks say that they would be interested in supporting us with some kind of module page? I'm not sure we ever came to any kind of agreement on this. But yes, an http://modules.ganglia.info would be the right way to go. Also the http://modules.apache.org site isn't a download site. It is just a reference listing that describes the various modules and points to where they can be downloaded. It is also run by Covalent/Spring Source rather than the ASF. I would be OK with this approach. This way contributors would remain in control of their latest version of the module source code rather than relying on us to accept patches and upload the latest source into our repository. All we or whoever would have to manage is the database and web site. >> and other types of contributions such as utility scripts.
