The "who" is probably the maintainer/developer of the third-party library. The "where" is probably the place for the "who" hosts his project. > One option would be to store files in the Clojure Google > Groups file area (although this could be a bit problematic since the > Google Groups file area isn't very "flexible" and everything is > jumbled in there together).

Concerning the contrib download area: who decides, which projects are allowed to go there? Who plays the postman who puts up the files? (The upstream author is probably not allowed to...) A centralised approach would be feasible if there was some CCAN, where every author can upload his files himself. I would propose, that the files are hosted where ever they are hosted now with suitable labels with which Clojure version they work. This works out of the box with the least amount of trouble.
