regarding the map pack

[Ronald_Reagan]

I like the idea of a mappack svn, especially since you could easily update/contribute/etc. Are there any other good places besides sourceforge that can host it?

I doubt that it would be easy. You could set up your own svn server. However, SVN isn't needed as much. SVN's main feature (for me) is the history, where basically it saves every revision. You wouldn't really need that.
