The problem at the moment is that SourceForge gives CVS hosting and not
Subversion hosting.

It isn't. But with what we have on the server and what
mirror.hamakor.org.il has, we have enough for this.

There's no point in keeping an idea to yourself since there's a 10 to 1
chance that somebody already has it and will share it before you.
