ideally though the repository would be integrated with the existing
website, 
giving it a makeover. thus keeping all the 'essential' lojban documents
in 
one place. 

the plainest implementation as i see it would be running just the cvs
pserver
and webcvs (cf www.cvshome.org), farther reaching would be the idea of
using one of the groupware suites that i suggested. though having tried
to set 
up one of them on my machine at home i realized that this would require
a 
lot more dedication to set up and maintainence (i would be happy to
contribute).
 i clearly see the danger of feature overloaded software, some of them
might
still be desireable though, such as monitoring of who signed up for what
, 
or defining project goals and tracking the participants assessment of 
how far they developed their project
with respect to the goal ,or calendering.

however, i am awaiting comments of other list members as to what they
think.
