Yes, this is also my idea. In the ASF submission process, a person have to be "accept" to can write on the svn, he have to "proof" that he is a good and implicated people in the project. I don't want to mean that is a bad concept : it permit a very good quality to ASF project. But, it don't allow some "occasional" devel to share their modules (like rudolf korhummel I think). >> >> The lenya community should be developed here in the mailing list and the >> infrastructure that the ASF provides for this project.

Yes, this is exactly my idea, thanks ! Be sure, I don't want to split the community, but I think that it was a great think to have a less entry barrier for submitting than ASF. I think that it can create more community participation and module creation. To precise my site idea and to respond to Vik, I imagine a more "development cooperative" tools than wiki (in fact : svn). I think to something like that : - a user create an Account on the "lenya mod sharing" site. So user automatically have an svn account - After login on the site, a form allow the user to create a new "project". Here he can decide the write access in his project (all, restrict to name 1 / name 2 /, restrict to group1 / group2, ...). - After form submission, an svn folder is created, codev can begin. - For "visitors", the site presents all available modules or templates than can be downloable. As says rudolf.korhummel, "If this is possible with the apache environment it would be fine", and great.
