Extension Repo

Hi all,

I was thinking about starting on an extension repo[0], and have a
couple of questions.

Should this be hosted by the Inkscape project?  If so, how do I go
about getting access?  Or at least finding out what version of
php/python/mysql are available to set up a local test site?

If not, is anyone willing to pool resources for hosting?  Or know of a
good FOSS-friendly place to host?

Any thoughts or opinions on server/language/db?  I'm leaning toward
apache/php/mysql, but something like cherrypy/python/sqlite would be
well suited to this task as well.

Thanks,
Chris

What kind of repository?

For Deb, you could use launchpad PPAs. For code you could use Bzr. Not
sure what you could use for rhels.

Good question.  It needs to be OS-agnostic though, so likely just ZIP
or EGG files containing the extension and metadata files.

If you read the spec, it's more than just a code repo - it needs a web
front-end where users can log in, upload, rate, comment, etc:
