Yes, something like that. We already have that, in fact, in the form of the "user examples" section on the WiX website but I don't think it hardly gets used (if I am correct, the only thing there is a bootstrapper example). But yes, that is essentially what I am talking about: a place where we can put good code, that can't make it into WiX because of people not trusting Microsoft, a stubborn boss, the WiX developers having a bad hair day or whatever reason. I think that will put a great deal of the discussion to rest. It would be nice if it could be part of the current WiX project -- that is, it doesn't make it into the WiX toolset itself, isn't owned by Microsoft but does appear on wix.sourceforge.net. I'm not sure if that is possible due to the legal constraints, but you may want to think about it. Who knows, maybe even a very loosely-controlled directory in the CVS repository may do.
