Yes, contrib directory is a good idea

Hi Vlad,
I have no idea. We are using the server with our own templating
framework based on tDOM but I do not think this is something
of general interest.
I have light-weight templating i can extract and put into modules/tcl,
that will be one small file and will support OACS-style templating
where .adp and .tcl are define template. But it requires some work to be
extracted
from my "big" framework system.
I would also like to extract some functionality from our toolkit. It would be
nice if there is a small toolkit with basic stuff like database abstraction,
page and session management, authentication and basic permissions.
I like the idea to rewrite it in a way so that it utilizes new naviserver
functions like the c-cookie-api or database stuff (I read from Stephen?).
In our framework we do not map and use the standard ADP-stuff, we use
registered filters and procs and ns_adp_parse files, but it should be
managable to rewrite it.
For public version in the future i would include as manu maintained
modules as possible.
What do you think about a "contrib" directory (like in PostgreSQL or other
packages):
<QUOTE>
The PostgreSQL contrib tree
---------------------------
This subtree contains porting tools, analysis utilities, and plug-in
features that are not part of the core PostgreSQL system, mainly because
they address a limited audience or are too experimental to be part of
the main source tree. This does not preclude their usefulness.
Each subdirectory contains a README file with information about the
module.
</QUOTE>
Something similar. This way it would be clearly stated that something is
useful and/or experimental and/or just new (Message: "Give it a try").
Maybe this would be a place for a chroot-installation-script, like my first
try here:
http://www.kinetiqa.de/aolserver/
(But rewritten, it's a little bit old and worries about too many packages)
Bernd.
