Well +1 from me then too. I have overcome many of the issues
that we had. There are still a few license issues, but not too bad.
The new structure is still not ideal, but one step further.

If i don't hear any objections soon then i will go ahead.

Not sure. Damn the frilly bits. Seriously, i try to work it out.

:-) I also have a build.txt description that i will commit to cvs
or perhaps i should just merge it into that howto web page. We'll see.

That is interesting. The last time Nicola Ken presented the logos,
i said that i did not like the idea of the empty xml-commons element
and i loved the concept of a peace-pipe inside the commons.

Oh dear, what a dilemma - they are all good. How about i toss a coin?
We can always change it.
