If we decide to go this way, I see two 'subpossibilities' :
3a) freeze/branch Contrib when new openSUSE release is out (i.e.
openSUSE:11.1:Contrib), but allow version upgrades if there's a bug
or
3b) do not branch Contrib at all, but build it for older openSUSE
versions (like we are now building for 11.1).
What do you think?

So from my POW, we have those possibilities:
1.) use the Contrib as one of devel projects for Factory
No.
Agreed.
2.) drop Contrib and move all packages to appropiate devel project and
Factory
This can be done, but I guess we do not want everything in Factory.
Agreed.
3.) redefine a Contrib as a respository with less strict maintenance rules
(eg. the "famous" version upgrades), because even if the Factory will be
opened for community, every package must be maintained for cca 2 years
(that
means, three openSUSE releases + Factory). And community is not really
interested on it.
I would say we still need a "Other" repository for the stuff that won't get
into Factory and Contrib is still well suited for it.
I think that Contrib with version upgrades is a way to go. There were
some people that wanted to help with Contrib, but dropped when they
realized that no version upgrades were allowed there.
