So, generating the compressed package file is easy -- you basically just have to compress a your files. I'm in the process of making scripts for generating HTML, which also are generally usable (with them, it's much more easy to create a graphical help browser). So, that part should be doable. However, we can't really store the actual compressed package in SVN. We need to upload the file to the Sourceforge release system. The HTML isn't really suited for SVN upload either, as that has to be put in the Sourceforge web space. We might be able to write scripts that perform some of the uploading, but it's not trivial. But other than that, I agree with you. > As I understand the current state of things, all but the upload is > either done by some tool or easy.

I think a tool for creating compressed package files, should be easy to write and maintain, as it doesn't have to do much. Tools for generating web pages are somewhat more involved, but since such tools could be of more general interest, it might be easier to get more maintainers involved. As to creating scripts for uploading the files, then I'm not sure about the work neeeded.
