I agree with Joe. Maybe we should agree/decide on who is the target audience of these samples. For example, if average developers is the target audience then they should be able to use svn/cvs and therefore there should be no need for these zip files. However, if we expect the target audience not to know how to use svn then I guess we would need to provide those zip files. But if we do provide them, we must make it so it is extremely easy to (re)generate them. Jarek
