The problem I have with a public repository is that the registration
software includes login details to shopping carts for (at the moment)
three separate conferences, and maybe later credit card payment
services providers (eg PayPal, Protx, SecPay). OK, so in the current
software this is held in config files, but at some time someone is
bound to commit it in error whatever precautions you take. Also, for
the sake of convenience, I'm storing the delegates' data and if you
make that public you'd be into all sorts of data protection issues. So
for now  the registration part of it should be private.
