I could, and I would (I was looking for an excuse for a long time), but I have 
no time before
middle next week. I can put it into my TODO items for then.

I just relised, I was only registered to repo.or.cz - but I will register as 
described at

http://orgmode.org/worg/worg-git.html

If it should be up earlier, please feel free to do it.

Cheers,

Rainer
