Webware for Python

I want to put up the CheetahKit that I use on subversion.  I don't want 
to put it in the Webware folder though.  Since people use Cheetah two 
ways, as a servlet and as a template used by a servlet, putting 
CheetahKit in at the root level implies to new users that one way is 
"normal".

Shall I put it at the root, same level as ZPTKit, LoginKit, etc?  I 
feel like the root is getting a little cluttered and we should put this 
stuff in a sub volder.  What about an Extras or Examples folder that 
all this stuff should go to.  Probably not WSGIKit since that is a 
separate significant project.  Thus I'm thinking:
	svn://webwareforpython.org/
		Webware/
			WebKit/
			MiddleKit/
			...
		WSGIKit/
			...
		Examples/
			Component/
			LoginKit/
			ZPTKit/
			CheetahKit/

My mail client didn't show me the indentation until I chose "view source".
This is how it then came out:
    svn://webwareforpython.org/
            Webware/
                WebKit/
                MiddleKit/
            ...
            WSGIKit/
            ...
            Examples/
                Component/
                LoginKit/
                ZPTKit/
                CheetahKit/

Sounds good to me, except I'd be inclined to call 'Examples' either
'Extras' or 'Contrib', with the rationale that it's very useable code, more
than "just an example".

peace,
Jason

It doesn't bother me particularly that there's multiple packages at the 
root.  If people think it's a real problem, not just a perceived 
inelegance, then sure, this would be fine.  Though of course with a 
different name than "Examples".  But I don't see any real problems at 
this point -- browsing around the repository from the root isn't 
something I expect new users to do.

My thought is that users would want to checkout the entire set of 
extras in one command, so they should be grouped in one folder.

Do you prefer "Extras"?  I already added "Examples" but it is easy to 
rename it now that we are using Subversion. :-)

I don't really care if they're all on the root or under a directory, but
if they are to be grouped, 'Extras' is okay....I can't think of anything
better at the moment.

If those projects use tags and branches (as they should) then this 
won't be an option anyway.

Okay, forget it then.  I'll just leave it as it is.
