Ralf,
I think having apps that use OpenSSL hosted on the openssl site will be
a great benefit to the community because it will hopefully further
increase the visibility of OpenSSL & apps that use it.
How would you handle giving the main owner of a app the administrative
abilities to manage his/her cvs tree remotely? Would you also allow for
mailling lists to be created for each app similiar to the set of OpenSSL?
