Michael Greene commented on THRIFT-292:
---------------------------------------
Judging by the way other Apache projects are using those terms, e.g.
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/hadoop/core/trunk/src/contrib/
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tapestry/tapestry4/trunk/tapestry-contrib/
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/ivy/core/trunk/src/example/
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tomcat/trunk/webapps/examples/
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tapestry/tapestry4/trunk/tapestry-examples/
It looks like the connotation behind "contrib" is a contributed project that
can be incorporated into your own projects, built on top of the base Apache
project -- whereas the connotation behind "example" is something to get you
started using the base Apache project, but intended as a learning device more
than to be incorporated in its entirety.
I think fb303 fits the the first description better, but I may be reading
contrib/example wrong.
