answer - help?), forwarded with permission - please reply-all so that he 
gets the answers as well.

I would be really interested, but also some of the zikula core devs will
beginn iirc within the next months to work on the pagemaster project,
because its getting more important for us.

A Static Download url is maybe a problem. All Module downloads on
community.zikula.org <http://community.zikula.org> are handled by our
ExtensionsDB which creates always an individual package with the right 
language packs and other stuff that is needed (for example the core 
etc). Would it be ok for you when i package every release, upload it to 
the cozi and send you an E-Mail , so you can download it
here: http://code.zikula.org/pagemaster/downloads ? This would be the
easiest way for me.


I have another question, I also work on the MediaAttach Module (a Module
that enables an upload functionality to other modules), which seems to 
be quite interresting for you (Simon said something like this). And i 
have a ticket relating license issues of the librarys used within 
MediaAttach ( http://code.zikula.org/mediaattach/ticket/104 ) where 
David Nelly (seems to be one of your guys) is mentioning swf upload 
which has a MIT License. AFAIK MIT is opensource and compatible with 
GPL. Do you know why he thinks that there could be a Problem ?
