Howdy !

I have noticed that some Python modules live under gmond/python_modules/.
On the other hand I remember that during our last meeting in SF 2007 we
had talked about a module repository a la http://www.ganglia.info/gmetric/.

I wanted to start writing a Python module providing ipmi support to pull
HW metrics from BMCs and I wonder where it should reside ?

One idea could be to put _basic_ or _general_ modules in the trunk and 
more specific modules in a repository similar to the gmetric one.  We 
could even upload the Python DSO's as of today to the gmetric page.  
However, my specific module would require a good amount of documentation 
and I would rather not put this all in the source code.  

However,  I am concerned that the module web location might not be that
well-known and thus people will miss it.  Thus, the idea would be 
to implement the Python DSO's as eggs and provide 
the Ganglia distro with the necessary Python easy install configuration to 
allow for over the net egg installation from the Ganglia egg manager.
But maybe I am paranoid here.

What do people think about this ?

Thanx,
Matthias
