Well, I have write access for the contrib subdirectory (except for Bill's
ghostscript directory within it).  Interestingly enough, all the files'
groups are set to bsdwork, which is curious since I'm in bsdwww, but not
bsdwork.  Since I created those file... either Allen did a chgroup -R or I
was once a member of bsdwork.  Something that might be nice would be a
contrib group, a list of ppl in a custom group, so that contrib could be
chgroup'ed w/ group write access.  But barring that, feel free to drop
anything for public retrieval into the /pub/netBSD/contrib/incoming
directory and I'll put it into a readable dir.  BTW, I put Bill
Studenmund's PPP kit in /pub/NetBSD/contrib/ppp-setup.  Hope that's okay,
if not, just say so.
