What I meant was that the SF project that Leo has already set up for Ada_Lapack would be even better if it had the source code in source control, rather than just as an archive. If I was enrolled as a developer on the project I could do that, if Leo wanted.

I think I agree with you that your work ought to be in a different SF project. Or projects, whichever you think best (though I'd go for one). I'd be quite happy to organise this. Perhaps we should take any further organisational details to e-mail and come back to the group when done?
