horray! One thing I worry about the add-ons wiki page is code vanishing
when a personal URL link goes down.

contrib? experimental? shrug

requires all add-ons to figure out a GEM makefile, but that can be
done with help once in the CVS

grass6/ is restricted to GPL, often code the GEM will integrate may 
not be GPL. Will grass6-addons/ (or whatever) CVS be limited to GPL?
How to police that or at least keep the module's license clear?
A "COPYRIGHT" file required in every module's main dir?
(e.g. the viewshed module?)


> Opinions welcome...

The nice thing about the Wiki is the low barrier to entry to anyone.
Can submitters to the new repo be given rights to their own dir or do
they need general write permission on everything at Intevation's CVS?
