The longer term goal is that contributed stuff get moved somewhere
else, see my post from Feb 4:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.monotone.devel/18838

The idea I have is to do something like many others do, have a wiki
repository for contributed things, a little like this:
http://ikiwiki.info/plugins/

The point is that as much as possible of what we distribute with
monotone should be tested, so we can avoid bit rot.

Cheers,
Richard
