[development] Mischievous registration of projects

[Darrel O'Pry]

Ugh!!! I don't like to think about changing a modules name once I start.

I think it is perfectly fair to grab your namespace, as long as you have 
some code or something alpha.  Heck if it's alpha do it on your own box, 
and commit when it is sort of together.  My normal process is to start 
work in CVS, reserving my namespace in CVS first, and create a project 
when I'm ready to release.

I suspect a lot of the "land rush" registrations are a result of that issue, but they just don't get finished (or started).
