Principally a good idea. But will community be integrated into the package search on http://www.archlinux.org/packages/ or is such a package database on a separate location, so that community packages could be flagged out-of-date e.g.?
Actually, I'm still not sure on what we want to do here. I'd like input from the TUs as to what they'd prefer....
Right now I'm thinking we may just integrate community into the main site search, and give the TUs access to the dev website... but we need to play with permissions to make sure people can only do what they're supposed to
That would be best, in my opinion. It would be quite practical to put [community] alongside with the other repos. Additionally, if the permission system in use allows it, we (TUs) could use [testing] (instead of the proposed [community-testing]) for [community] packages as well. The benefits of the above points would be that: 1) People having the [testing] repo enabled would also get to test [community] packages. 2) It would simplify the move of packages between [extra] and [community]. At the very least, the following things should become available to people: 1) Being able to search for a package from the home and /packages/ pages. 2) Flag a package as out-of-date via the web interface.
