[oi-dev] Contrib repo

[Matt Wilby]

What's the general consensus about having a contrib repository for OI?

- Would give community members the chance to submit additional software
not found in the standard repo.
- I can see the need for a contrib-pending and contrib-approved.
- Would require vetting the contribution before moving from pending to
approved, so perhaps more demand on staff.
- Would need to come with a health warning, "use at your own risk etc."
- More choice without the need for setting up lots of third party
repositories. Everything from one source.
- We had this in Opensolaris after the idea was posted on the forums
back in 2008 I believe....
