I think this would have quite a few advantages, e.g. - It would be fun to be able to see what new org projects are in the pipeline, and their state. - Any org users could easily pull work-in-progress projects and help with testing and feedback - It could lead to collaborations on projects that wouldn't otherwise have happened, and help prevent duplication of effort - The process of merging branches from there into contrib/ or org core would hopefully be convenient and become well-worn. - It might be educational for less experienced programmers to see how others go about doing things with org code. Does anyone else think this is a good idea? Would you be prepared to help get it started? Dan
