Hi All,
I was playing around with Josh Gargus' port of Cassowary and exhumed my TempScopeEditor which edits methods to move method-level temps into their smallest enclosing block scope. I realise it is generally useful and is better as a stand-alone package than as part of Cog, where it is dependent on VMMaker. I'd like it to live on source.squeak.org and Id like the project to be called TemporaryVariableScopeEditor.
AdvThanksance
Why wouldn't this fit into Trunk?
I was about to propose a "contrib" project where such packages could live. But then I thought the rules would have to be pretty much the same as for the trunk repo, except the packages wouldn't be loaded by default.
Worth discussing on squeak-dev?

Well, that would have been my preference too except that I thought that trunk was only for stuff that was in the base.

I think that's better.

Sure, but if I were you and I could I'd just create contrib and be done. We'd need to advertise it to newbies, which I guess would mean updating the New Community Development Model manifesto. The front page of source.squeak.org might ask one to read it instead of just suggesting.
