I'm not currently a contributor for this project, but I hope you don't mind me asking a question on this topic because I have a interest in Ivy. I agree that maintaining two repositories does not make sense. However, I know that the ivy repository has ivy.xml files for each module. Is the plan to add these to ibiblio? If not, what information/functionality would be lost? If none currently, it certainly seems that some flexiblity would at least be lost, as there will be a dependency on the pom format. Scott
