Proposal: Make framework contract assemblies open source


hi,

(sorry if has been suggested before; couldn't find anything.)

over past few months, seems guys have been working hard on keeping missing contracts on framework assemblies. it's incredible amount of work, , think benefit if contract assemblies made open source. specifically, i'm thinking open source contract assemblies on github. doing allows users spot missing contracts add them contract assemblies , send cc team pull request can review , hit "merge" pull in.

generally, workflow be:

1) fork code contracts contract assembly repo.
2) add whatever contracts needed.
3) push fork.
4) send pull request.
5) cc team reviews changes , either merges them in or makes intuitive inline comments in diff view in pull request contributor acts on.

needless say, speed framework contract development tremendously compared current post on forum -> wait implementation -> wait release workflow. think github in particular useful because no other site seemingly provides similar pull requests.

thoughts?

regards,
alex

codeplex supports mercurial, dvcs similar git more "windows-friendly". better fit project github.

i think it's great idea.
