I think the problem also stems from Loic's (& others) inability to do 
anything useful with the codebase as it stands: I'm under the impression 
maintaining & extending SF is incredibly difficult currently; which doesn't 
surprise me because I had the same problem a while ago (maintaining a SF).

It's not really much good to attempt a fork in this instance.

BTW - another respository is www.tigris.org, but that's limited to certain 
types of project.

John, get yourself on fsfe-uk at gnu.org :) 
		http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/fsfe-uk
 
We're meeting this Sunday!!!

The place is Aston University in Birmingham - if you can make it, you need to 
tell Marc Eberhard (m.a.eberhard at aston.ac.uk) quickly, to get your name on 
the list (otherwise you might not get past the security guards :).

/me resolves to keep an eye out on discussion at fsfeurope.org for UKers ;)

Cheers,
