Alex, Good to hear from you and I hope things are going well at CSU.
My thoughts about were to add your script to svn would largely depend on how tightly coupled the code is to OCW. Meaning if the final output of your script is an OCW Dataset Object, then it makes sense to put the code into trunk/ocw/data_source along with local.py and rcmed.py since those modules connect to data_source and return an OCW object. If the script is a stand alone program, that will be integrated or folded into the data_source folder at some later date, then I would suggest making a feature branch like " https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/climate/branches/ESGFDownloader";. That way folks can collaborate on the branch and work on porting the code over into data_source. When the work is complete, then the changes can be merged into the trunk. The branch also gives us a lot more freedom to change our minds and collaborate until we have a final product.
