Hi Richard,

but have you ever tried creating a contribution this way? In my opinion, the
skeleton should be for the developers who create contributions, and no-one
that works with a modern DVCS (which is probably the vast majority of devs)
creates versions in subfolders anymore. You've explicitly remodeled the
contribution system to cater to people who host contribs at GitHub or
similar sites, and there it doesn't make any sense to separate versions this
way. 

I've updated the "TokenField" contrib to use the skeleton [1] and at the
moment, automatic download does not work because the Manifest is not
directly below the top-level folder. This is confusing. 

I don't think removing the skeleton is the right way to go. I've said this
before, but I really urge you to provide a uniform way for devs to create
contributions. Anything else results in confusion, lack of automatability
and even fewer contributions. There hasn't been a new contrib for a long
time, or did I miss anything?

My (a bit frustrated) 2 cents.
