Not much.

Yes, that's pretty much all it does. Investment into the future.

No. I wanted to wait until I have some stuff to put there. But the 
directory doesn't need to exist.

get responses on the mailing list (that never show up in the news archives)
and Nils' comments on/problems with modules disapear in the void of IRC.
