Just as a heads-up, we have meanwhile moved the NEAD codebase to a git  
server we host. The repo isn't public, but we can easily give people  
full access, including r/w, to clone the repo, create their own  
branches for customizations, etc. Mike Smorul of SESYNC has tested  
this and it seems to be working.

If you want access of whatever kind too, email a request along with  
your public key to [log in to unmask]
