Here at the CCNY Robotics Lab we are looking at archiving our
experimental results. We want to be able to provide enough information
so that our results can be reproduced easily.

Currently we are debating the creation of a separate repository
ccny-ros-exp which would contain installers and launch files necessary
to rerun our experiments. This approach in nice in that it keeps from
cluttering up our main repository and most users of our code won't
require our experimental data. The downside is that it clutters up the
ROS list of repositories.

Perhaps there should be a separate page like this
http://www.ros.org/browse/repo_list.php just for experimental results.
This could also be indexed so that you could look at a sensor message
and have a list of experiments that used that message. I'm sure there
are other benefits that could be found.

Does anyone have any opinions or feedback on creating a separate
repository for experimental data?
