Hi Tres. Any discussion of the ZCA will have to occur another day. I am 
not seeking a way to enter the agreement or to resolve anything 
publicly. Toby and I made these arrangements a couple months back and 
have committed to ongoing communication.

It should be pointed out that users of the code will be getting releases 
from a package index in future. More important than the location of the 
repository is the fact the code will be eggified, maintained and there 
will be future releases.
