I am also split between "contrib" and "examples"
One issue with "contrib" is that it only exists in CVS and is never
released. My concern with "cayenne-examples" is that our examples are
already full of some obscure things like DataPort. We need to include
more basic stuff in there, or otherwise it will just scare people. I
also have a selfish reason - examples code is kind of supposed to be
tested and maintained between releases. I have no way of testing this
particular piece...
I guess we will start with contrib, and later figure out how to make it
more accessible... "unsupported examples" or something. So please
upload your work to JIRA, and we'll take it from there.
