Or post it somehwere & pass along the URL. Thanks. As for the name? If this is going to be at all problematic, I suggest just using a new name. Plenty of names are available without a) risking any infringement on anyone's trademark and b) confusing any potential users with a name similar to something else. Maybe its best to avoid this one and pick something else. As for #4? Until there's something more substantial, I'd think worrying about configuration management is unnecessary. Plenty of these sorts of packages are just posted to a website with somebody volunteering to be the Keeper Of The Eternal Flame & managing the changes locally. (It ought to be something that gets pretty stable pretty quickly, don't you think?) If it gets anywhere & starts expanding, worrying about CVS, etc, might make some sense down the line.
