Hi Martin

I have created a repository with the basic structure for your package
[1]. I will need your sourceforge username to give you permissions to
push into it (or you can host it somewhere else and we can pull from
there). Until them, you can already pull it and commit your functions
(please follow the commit message guidelines [2]).
