Christian,
Your suggested approach seems best to me. First import the material in
liblouis-1.7.0.tar.gz (which is the latest) into svn on the liblouisxml
project page, then do any necessary cleanup. I can add Eitan as an owner
to that page if he wishes. I really appreciate you and his help in
learning basic svn operations, such as making commits and removals. Once
I feel confident with the basics I can go on to more advanced svn work.
Thanks,
John
