I support the concept of a user depository with files that could be downloaded. I personally would only expect Geosoft to review the files for possible viruses and then simply store them in an appropriate place. I suggest that Geosoft would want to establish some rules and guidelines for such a site. Some suggestions are:
1. Each submission must include HTML files that describe the GX and what it does. Geosoft could supply an HTML template to be used for this purpose.
2. Each submission must include the compiled GX as well as the relevant source code.
3. The submitter must agree to relinquish all rights regarding distribution and modification. I presume that there is some sort of legal wording for this type of thing.
4. Any user acknowledges that Geosoft is not responsible for support or proper functioning of the GX nor warrants that its use will not cause any problems on the user's system.

Could I suggest that geonet sets up a repository for gx
constructed by users (or geosoft) for sharing with others.
See http://www.iavsc.org as an example of a similar site.
This could be done via the geosoft web site, with some
simple submission format and procedure.
