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.
