Mark,
I'll throw my voice in here.
If you do decide to roll your own, we probably have to wait and see what you
come up with before we know if it is an improvement over existing options. :)
It depends how useful it is.
Can we find what we need?
Is it easy to submit our code?
Is the repository easily found on the cfengine site (for newbies, in order to
make it the place to go for examples).
I do like the idea that it would be on the cfengine site as an official
resource.
It seems like there would be value in allowing others in the community to post
updates/changes to contributed code, or even comments ("hey, this code also
works for some other situation..."). Let the repository be self managing. The
community will separate the wheat from the chaff. Of course you are always
welcome to throw in your own examples and commentary, Mark. :)
Thanks for working on this for us!
Carolyn

Reviving this discussion of a forum for code snippets once again, I have been
thinking about the various options. I'm afraid I wasn't very impressed with
github (found it quite hard to navigate) and see the wood for the trees. I also
didn't get a lot out of reading about Plone. I think the repository should be
hosted by Cfengine so that it is easy to find and has a sense of `stamp of
approval'.
I don't feel like I have an answer, but I am wondering about the following:
* Simply using SVN to keep versioned code. Login/authentication based on a
proper engine room registration account.
* Adding an interface that allows indexing, commentary and knowledge
integration using Cfengine's own knowledge map and some PHP magic.
What I like about this is the versioning that SVN and ViewVC add. We could put
some resources into this in the new year if people think it would be a good
solution.
