We have good hosting infrastructure at casper.ghostscript.com, so
that's where stuff should go. SF is totally cool with dual GPL +
commercial projects, but I have doubts about the long-term viability
of their free offering (the code has already forked from their
proprietary product).

I have great big gobs of things I need to write down, but right now
Ghostscript is taking most of my attention. I just got output this
morning from my Well Tempered Screening, which I'm happy about, but
it was considerably more work than I anticipated.

Thanks for your work, and I'll see what cycles I can pry loose.
