Sorry, I missed Mark's original message.

Who maintains *.ecmascript.org?  If we can expect it to be reliable I
would have no problem moving development of the sputnik test suite
there.  Actually I would be prepared to move as soon as we can agree
on what structure we want.  One small issue is how to review code
changes.  Sputnik already uses a "third-party" tool (as in it's
developed by google but not an integrated part of code.google.com) and
for now we could continue to use that, just from a different base
repository.

As for merging sputnik with es5conform and the subset of the mozilla
tests that reflect the spec I see no reason why we couldn't do that,
other than the work it would take to merge the heterogeneous
frameworks.
