Hi Kai, That sounds good. We'll look into adding a sub-project to ArgoUML and then work towards merging the projects in the future.

I think adding the project to the ArgoUML site an refer from sourceforge is a good option. Since I finished my studies and have a job I don't have as much time as I would like to have to keep working on argouml-sql. I just can offer a few hours every week.
