Ok, sorry I was to quick with that.

"I'd prefer you didn't. If there are developers who are serious, I could
provide svn access to our repository. Right now there are 3 people who
are active. We are about to release version 4, which is almost a year
out from version 3.39 that is in the user group.

If you host it somewhere else, integration becomes more of a problem.

I realize that the code is not in the best of shape, partly due to the
fact that we have had lots of students working on it. I'd like to get it
in better condition, but time is an issue.
