David (or other open source IDL developers),

If you are interested I can setup a Trac site at catalyst.idldev.com
for your library. This would give:

1. a Subversion repo
2. a Wiki
3. a bug tracking database

Check out idldoc.idldev.com for an example. If there are other
developers looking for a place, let me know.
