Its all getting changed over to Hypernucleus now. I prefer my XML format, it gives me alot of power and flexibility to add game-focused features. I also want the files hosted on Hypernucleus's server and packaged in a uniform way. Anyone can run their own Hypernucleus repository, it is in fact more similar to the way apt, yum etc work.on Linux. If you don't like it, its tough :P I'm not recoding it.
