[OOTB-hive] registry for models and namespaces?

[Richard Esplin]

I think this is a big need, and I would love to see this happen.

When we launched the Add-ons Directory (http://addons.alfresco.com), I created 
a category for content models with the idea that people would share them. But 
I don't believe that anyone has.

We don't have to wait for Order of the Bee to create additional infrastructure 
(though I think that would be great). You can list your content model now in 
the add-ons directory.

Thanks,

Richard
