Agreed.

Actually there may not be a need for DRM-specific modules. So ready-to-use
scripting language modules ideally would be available via drmaa.org. The
module sources nevertheless could be kept in gridengine.sunsource.net CVS.

But Rayson is right: We don't need to decide this today. If Enrico sends me
a tar.gz I can make it available through download area at first.
