If other Gri users support your proposal to include the example, then I'll add it to the cookbook. I will do only minimal editing of the commandfile: (1) I'll add a ``contributed by'' comment to the commandfile, (2) reformat it in a uniform style, and (3) email the result back to the author for final testing.
As editor, I will be collating these files, not checking them or supporting them. Similarly, contributers will not be expected to support their code; otherwise I doubt that anybody will contribute.
