Hmmm...what about you first make those scripts available for download 
somewhere, announce them on FreshMeat.net. This should get them a more wide 
spread testing and after that it might be time to consider them for inclusion.

To avoide the "invent the wheel again" situations I ask you, have you 
searched the web for any solution that might do what you want? If you did 
not search, please do so and join those projects and then give us 
information about those project and if you think they are worth including 
in DL.

It's really more about stability, if your scripts are not used and tested 
by anybody else they might break our complete system in the worst case, eg. 
by indroducing a security hole.

There are three developers who have write access to the CVS:
   * Heiko
   * Bruce
   * myself

and there are other developers with read-only access, which more or less 
regularly submit patches to fix bugs, ...

If you can please first try to find and fix existing bugs. As said above 
software projects with some sort of user base are definitely prefered.

Still some question? Just ask.
