Fantastic!

You can do one of two things:

1. submit the packages as one or various sub-projects or for
inclusion in existing sub-projects
2. just have youe packages listed

I'll put this into the package registry, let me know the home page
when you have one.


>gnu.net.ftp - an FTP client protocol implementation.  
>gnu.net.irc - an IRC client protocol implementation.  

Would you like to contribute these to the GNU inet libaray? You'd
have to change the package name to gnu.inet.ftp and gnu.inet.irc. I
can host them with most of the rest of the inet library if you like.

The inet library is in the GNU-Paperclips CVS right now but it will
probably become a seperate project.

It may be usefull to do this because the gnu.inet library can provide
shared implementations of common things like content encodings.

Let me know what you think.

Can you look at the classpathx website please, we have an XML parser
(and jaxp implementation) though it's not in our CVS yet. I would
prefer that you made your package jaxp compliant, then it's portable
across all XML parsers.

The website is at:
