In that case, consider moving offline area editors (and other utilities)
to a utils/areas/ directory, or similar. The snippets/olc/ directory will
handle the online editors. The idea being code/ will remain to be code
snippets for use in the CircleMUD server, and utils/ will cover the area
editors.

The idea was that those three directories would be rather sparse, so that
people could separate between addons for Oasis/Obuild, the actual
releases, and other material. You could go further with the organization
and do:
contrib/code/olc/
00Index
GenOLC/
00Index
GenOLC-0.0.tar.gz
addons/
docs/
old/
OasisOLC/
00Index
OasisOLCv2.0-bpl17.tar.gz
addons/
docs/
old/
obuild/
00Index
addons/
docs/
obuild.08.tar.gz
old/
others/
...
But that might be taking it too far. At the least, though, you might
consider an OLD/ directory under olc/ to move antiquated versions of
OasisOLC and obuild to, to reduce clutter and confusion.

In which case, name the link exactly the same as the file. :)

I was assuming olc/ could be moved under code/, then.
