Assuming the new templates are "Apache Licensed", you might have few options : - Contributors can submit/update artifacts via JIRA and a committer would update to the proper location - After submitting a CLA, a contributor is granted write access to 3rd party artifact area and can submit/update his Apache Licensed artifacts - Based on the type of contribution, evaluate the contributor and possible make him a committer, then problem solved... For non Apache Licensed artifacts, you might consider Apache Extras, but you probably wil only have a link saying something like "For other non Apache Licensed artifacts, see... " and point to apache extras. -- Luciano Resende http://people.apache.org/~lresende http://twitter.com/lresende1975 http://lresende.blogspot.com/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
