Mmm...I can't understand if now all the recipes will go in the svn 
directory or if the classic method of sending it to the recipe list 
would still work.
I say this bercause I don't know how much time I could spend on recipe 
maintaining, it's more likely that I'll put some recipe (very simple 
ones, actually) when I'll need them for my installation, maybe every 
day, maybe once in a month :D
However the proposal is very interesting, good work.

Bye.
