from summit, "the advantage of having them in one place is that they will
get used and improved by other vendors"

Presumably there'd be subdirectories, one for each vendor and/or based on
functionality.

The disadvantage maybe, is who will maintain/own (and merge stuff) in this
repo.

I think whatever is decided, should be in stackforge.

I don't think any of these third-party tools should be owned by the ironic
team.

I think that interested parties should get together (or not) to decide
where they'd like to put their stuff. Ironic wiki pages (or somewhere) can
have a link pointing to these other repo(s).
