Like Russel, I really like the idea of being able to have these scripts available to the community, but as the expertise and knowledge to review and maintain them into within the drivers of keystone, I come around to the conclusion that these scripts shouldn't be in the keystone repo. 

That said, I would like them to be available in general - Martin, I'd suggest starting by simply putting the relevant OCF scripts in a github repo that you own and then blogging about it - and let's get this knowledge more available to the community in general
