Something I've noticed recently is that there are a lot of good ideas out there for extensions and different behaviors. I know there are too many to roll into the core of FIT implementations, but it would still be great to collect them and keep with the fit sourceforge project and website. One possible technique for organizing these good non-core contributions is to set up a contrib space in the project. Sometimes called a sandbox, it's a great way for free software projects to allow the community to participate while still maintaining a carefully guided direction for the core. I'd like to start by suggesting I give over the hosting and maintenance of my own AntFit to the FIT project, rather than maintaining my own repository and website. Other good FIT-related code I've seen include some dotnet extensions, the Perl Test::FIT modules, and fitnesse. Software can potentially be accepted into the contrib sub-project even though it may go outside and beyond the needs and goals of the core FIT framework. s
