will do... At the moment I'm not sure if I should/can use Savannah for
code where we don't have the copyright transfer signed yet.

Sure I can do that... you can also give me admin/maintainer rights if
you want to, but I can't promise a long time involvement (that doesn't
mean I wouldn't like to, but I work is pretty demanding at the moment).
Therefore I just wouldn't like to become admin and then have to step
down again in a few months... I'm happy to do admin work in the meantime
though and I guess we can have several admins on the project... so as
long Tim will take over again in case I have less time available, I'm up
for it.

I'll post a news item on Savannay later today

cheers
