What value does it gain from becoming a contrib app, other than slower releases and less experimentation? I really don't understand the feeling of wanting things to go into Contrib. Hopefully soon, Russ's "No Bad Pony" talk from Djangocon this year will be online to point people to.

So instead of people in threads like this going "WTF, how did I not know about this?" ... they will be like ... "Yeah, that's in the documentations I use it everyday it's great."

The answer to people not knowing about useful third-party apps is not to stuff all the apps into contrib.

I agree that it should not be in contrib, but it might be useful to have a doc page listing useful tools that ease development (DDT, South...)
