  I don't hink it matters, as long as anyone can download and use for no
cost.  The right to modify things is a secondary consideration.  There
are many other places to put code, and what matters is that ARIN has a
one-stop set of code that can be recommended.
  
    Member> 2. Should the repository allow separate developers facilities to

  Please not that SCM's like git do not require any specific server
support.  FTP/HTTP is enough, although sftp/HTTP/git-daemon is preferred.
  If you want to support SVN, then consider gForge or SourceCast, or...

    Member> 3. Should the repository only house collections that reflect
    Member> ARIN's mission? 

  I think that the answer is yes, but that some discretion should be
left to the ARIN.
