having a big source code repository for packaging type stuff is useful,

In contrast, for web work on the www.opencsw.org main webserver,
All the "code" is already "all in one place": in the web server filesystem.
If you are one of the rare people who has chosen to actually do work on the
web coding, then you already know exactly where to look. and you can
already see everyone else's webcode too. its all quite "open" and organized
already.
Do other people agree with the above? (That it's the web site source
code is open and organized already.)
No, I don't.
Calling the code open and available when it is on a remote file system
on a *live* web server is not right. If I want to work on source code, I
need to copy the code locally, test it and probably show it to the rest
of the group if it contain significant changes. That is not possible as
it is.
If the code can't be shown to the world without being a security risk,
and Phil doesn't believe that we can write secure code, I'd like to
replace the application with something that we all can work on and extend.
