FreeNX has this already (but not for the NoMachine-provided 99% of
code it uses)...

I assume you meant that we should create a repository that archives
all your released source code tarballs, and if possible, import those
into an SVN or CVS repository?

We are certainly interested in doing this. We surely will also be able
to find the necessary HD and bandwidth resources, and provide the 
necessary administration overhead by volunteer helpers. 

What are your suggestions to bring this about? (We can also continue
the discussion in private mail, if you prefer).
