Hello, Bryce!
Well, I have a pretty good experience with shell scripting and with PHP too, so if these two will be enough - you can count on me.
There are several questions I want to ask:
1. As I understood, the scripts should work on the SourceForge server or you meant that someone should provide his own server for that?
2. <quote>Allows users a place on the web to go to to get the latest version </quote> - where would this place be? At inkscape.org?
3. <quote> Doesn't place the administrative responsibility on a single specific person </quote> - can't get what you mean here exactly.
I'll be glad to help if I can. I can help with scripting but I don't have my own machine to do all that compilation stuff. I am pretty familiar with sourceforge's server project file hierarchy so I'd probably be able to handle this task - at least to try ;-)
Artemio.
