[Insight-developers] A Contrib group?

[Bradley Lowekamp]

Brad K, Bill,

It's not clear from your(s) comments if you are in favor of using remote modules for all new modules or not? 

Or if small new contribution like a single class should be added as separate module or integrated into the appropriate existing module?

Thanks for the clarification,
Brad
