Dan,

It's about 99% in bash (with a small amount of JavaScript), so all the
code is in the RPM.  The one exception may be the mz.spec file is not in
the RPM, so I put that up in the files section of SourceForge also. (Oh
wait, /usr/local/sbin/smiucv is compiled C code, but in an amazingly cool
fashion, Leland Lucius put the C code in the smaclient bash script!)

I did not set up a git repository (but could - probably subversion though)
as nobody has expressed an interest in contributing. Certainly it's open
for contributions - that's probably the most important aspect of open
source.

I'll throw out one enticement: the new z/VM drill down page is an attempt
to show the health of z/VM in a single page to those who may not know too
much about z/VM. See screen shot 4/4 (or try the code yourself :)).  Of
course, it's just a "stake in the ground" and needs more work, but it's
something that may already be helpful to many shops.
