Yes, although we expect that creating new modules will inevitably be a 
side-effect of whatever they choose to implement.

There are some early modules under repo/ (there's also some tools there, which 
will be separated out as we clean up the layout).

  You can download the whole thing using the targz or zip links:

(I only got this working last night, so please report bugs!).

I chose bazaar as a nice way to do distributed development.  I imagine many 
people will want to simply download (and upload) tarballs, but it's also nice 
to have the ability to review the entire repository offline.

I imagine when we've got our infrastructure in a good state, most users won't 
know or care what we're using to store the code.

Hope that helps,
Rusty.
