Not for me.

And I have written something on
http://wiki.axiom-developer.org/AxiomSources
which is certainly not up-to-date. Unfortunately I am to confused by 
what is master-silver and what are the copies so that I cannot update 
this page.

Please, please, don't let the AxiomSources page get out-of-date. With 
all this SCM mess nobody is going to understand where to start with.

If we all agreed to send patches to Tim for review, then I would say no.
Silver should always be the same on axiom--silver--1, SF-/silver 
Google/trunk (or is it also Google/silver?).
