I really don't like the idea of a repository of top level projects for
contrib projects. I think I'd be -1 for having that. Same as we don't
have a repo of top level sandbox project and a repo of top level
platform projects.
It would also break our top level project rule which is that projects
at http://svn.xwiki.org/svnroot/xwiki/ are top level projects and have
associated jira/wiki/etc.
However as I mentioned I'm for being able to graduate from the contrib
project to the platform project or even to a top level project if we
want it, but on a case by case basis.
Thanks

I agree. I think the best place for that would be a page on
code.xwiki.org.
I don't think we need a new wiki for the forge (except technically
- for
SVN), I would be to aggregate all info that concern contrib in
code.xwiki.org since they are closely related.
BTW I forgot to mention in the original email, I think we should
propose
a generic maven groupId for individuals or projects that don't want
to
come up with their own. Something like "org.xwiki.contrib".
all projects are supposed to have at least a name and generally can
use org.xwiki.myproject I think
