Hi Jon,

So can you tell me about the process—
you guys are developing an AIKI version—
Is that also taking place at
https://svn.openfontlibrary.org/public/openfontlibrary
Or do you handle it internally?

And for tracking (and contributing to) the development of the current site,
is the workflow with the SVN still in place?
IIRC, you commit to both the private and public SVN and then someone else transfers these changes to the live site?

thanks
