Hi, Roger

There has been interest in a namespace for the packages I have been 
offering.  And a public repository.  And eggs.

David Pratt and I have been working on this on sourceforge for less than 
a week, so I was definitely a bit premature in pointng anyone to the 
SourceForge site.  Unfortunately, I just could not help saying something 
about xtemplate while templating was being discussed here.

So, a short statement about zif and jsonserver:

zif.jsonserver on sourceforge is the same as jsonserver on codespeak, 
except for a bit of an update for a zif namespace.

There will be some kind of announcement after we are satisfied with an 
upcoming release.  Additional contributors will, of course, be welcome.

Roger, I acknowledge your interest in a mailing list.  I think it would 
be a good idea, though I am a bit hesitant ATM to start YAFML.  I think 
it may be just a matter of throwing a switch on SF, so it is certainly 
doable.

For the moment, the Zif Collective is all "alpha" and experimental on 
SourceForge.  Nothing released.  Nothing to be alarmed about.  Nothing 
decided about other repositories.
