Just to clarify:

If an individual 'bazaar' project has a jail, they can use anything they 
want. . . emacs + rsync + grep if they want, for all I care.

However, this is specifically for Ike's proposed idea of repositories 
for scripts.

I assume we'd structure by name/handle of individual.

They'd get a login, commit, and could make change in the future, if they 
wanted.  Anyone else could have read access, and fork it. . . locally or 
on the server. (as we discussed offline, Bill T)

Does that make sense to Ike and all?

FYI, the bazaar box is in the colo, and will be built out this weekend.
