That depends on how widely dispersed your development team is, I guess.
Since I'm a lone developer (and a long way from hoooooome[0]) I
generally use files for library-type stuff. Unless you can use CVS,
putting stuff in snippets is going to be easier if you are developing
with a group & changes are somewhat frequent.

No issues on that, but since all development for the scripting backend
happens in separate directories, they'll not cross over anyway. There
will be a new (from scratch) php4 extension, and the scripting stuff (in
the 'scriptor' directory doesn't touch mod_midgard and midgard-lib. The
scripting layer will rely on midgard-lib features for a while but will
gradually start replacing them with scripted equivalents until
midgard-lib can be phased out for that effort; as soon as the scripting
layer is featureful enough, mod_midgard will gradually start using its
features until that too doesn't rely on midgard-lib anymore, at which
point it will be obsolete. mod_midgard-scripting will be a different
branch, like mod_midgard-preparser is now.

As for a time line for all of this, Alexander has indicated that the
scripting layer, plus some examples, should be available somewhere this
week or early next week, and the php4 extension should see early alpha
just before xmas. No timeline yet for mod_midgard-scripting; we want to
gain some experience with the scripting layer before  we start
redesigning mod_midgard.

Unless you use the static page trick, or mmp with MidgardFavorFiles set
to On.
