Christian,

Your offer for help is great. I am quite new at administering an 
open-source project, and I would much rather stick to just programming. 
I am reading a book on subversion, but it would help to have a few 
simple instructions on importing the liblouisxml directory tree to its 
Google page and making commits to the liblouis page. I'll see if I can 
get you listed as an owner of both pages. 

Currently I'm working on the lou_debug program, and should be able soon 
to use it to investigate some problems with translation tables.

John
