Hi Denis,

Thanks very much I think here are what would the community will need

  • prominent link from openacs.org to your code dump site
  • ability to upload targz
  • abilitiy to attach a description to the dump
  • ability to untargz the file once its uploaded. We would not want a new developer downloading a big tar ball only to find that its all crap. The developer should be able to browse the code.
  • ability for the new developer to download the targz

Why not just create a CVS and use cvs web or something. Each dump will be a new module. Simple FTP should be fine too. And we just Standardize on the dir:

[code dump dir]/description.txt
[code dump dir]/dump.tgz
[code dump dir]/[dump name]/extracted code.

I guess anything will do. After all this is a donation to the community.
