[Gnu-arch-users] contrib directory? (Was: Re: anonymous id)

[Jan Hudec]

Hello,

Perhaps, there should be central place to put useful things like the
following...

Actualy, I think of the wiki. Anybody can log in there and add
a reference there (and remove obsoleted ones).

Then there would be a tool that would download all such references
(either just downloading a script or geting from arch) and make an
archive. That archive could be uploaded on savannah.

Opinions?
