Bryan,

I'm asking you kindly to channel your efforts at  
http://code.google.com/p/pythonocc-examples/ 
  to the pythonOCC repository.

Note that I don't think its ok to put work of other ( there is code of  
Bryan Cole here and of Thomas & myself ) in a SVN without explicitly  
asking for permission.
  ( in certain cases its even illegal, because code is OS, it doesnt  
mean that there authorship and IP don't apply )

I *absolutely* see the value of your effort and certainly *do* welcome  
it, but I believe this is something that should live in the pythonOCC  
repository.
( so, please take this as a _compliment_ ;')

I know you're intentions are good, but forking for no good reason is  
plain wrong.
( I consider unmotivated forking unprofessional and counter productive )

Open Source is a serious business, and the pythonOCC community ( which  
I consider you're an important part of, don't get me wrong ) poors a  
damn lot of effort into it.
You cannot simple take the work of others and dump it in your SVN. Its  
disrespectful at best.

One of the important efforts of pythonOCC is hopefully to develop a   
cohesive community, certainly for pythonOCC, and perhaps even bring  
more structure in the OCC community at large. Therefore

I'm convinced of your good intentions, but for a project at an early  
and critical stage where pythonOCC is, so excuse me for watching out  
for cohesion of the project.

Sorry for the strict tone of this mail, but I guess you get the point.

Cheers,

-jelle
