I can give you a shell account on theopenlab, which will give you full access to
the CVS tree.  I don't know if the IDL compiler should go in a separate module
or not; I'll leave it to Justin.  The same offer goes to anyone who is willing
to make a significant contribution to PyORBit.  Contact me
(jeff at theopenlab.uml.edu) about setting up an account.

BTW, I don't want anyone to think that PyORBit is under my direction.  I run The
Open Lab and coordinate The Loci Project at the Lab, but PyORBit is Justin
Bradford's baby.  I'm learning CORBA myself, and being a Python freak, I hope I
can learn via PyORBit.

James has been a godsend for some of my projects.  He may not get paid for what
he does, but I hope my continuing praise of his work is some motivation ;-)


Cheers.
Jeff
