Ok, these are two points:

  - sample apps
      these can stay here, if they are only samples though

  - third party components
       these can be referenced as Ant does

You are mixing here two concerns: that of one that wants to find them , 
and that of development.

Development has to follow the ones that care for it. So if something 
that is not Avalon itself but we kept here before will be taken care of 
at SF, fine. If at werken, fine too.

As for a repository for Avalon components, it still has to come, we need 
to focus on things one step at a time.

So we have already decided some time back that we will first ensure that 
non-core Avalon stuff will not remain here, that it will not remain 
uncatered for (at least not more than till now), and that we will 
reference all components-containers-Avalonstuff we know of on our site 
pages.

I have already structured the new http://avalon.apache.org/ site to be 
about:

  Home | Framework | Components | Containers | Apps | Sandbox

Inside these categories users will find Apache Avalon stuff, and also 
all third party things, exactly like http://ant.apache.org/external.html

Now what is needed is to make those pages actually reflect what is out 
there.
