It is up to you to decide where you want your efforts to be host it. I
am happy to present it in a sf.net project, but there is little more
that I can do. Do you want to pursue these efforts further, or do you
want to make them available to others who might be interested? I am
afraid that is always a difficult proposition without active
recruitment.

I see in the tar file two parts: java code and data. Would it be
useful to indicate which parts of the code belong to each of the above
items?

This would not exclude making it available on a public web page?
Regarding your items to chew on, would you want these to be part of a
web page for this code?

OK. I am not in a hurry.

I wanted to make my current code available to others, in particular
the PatGen port (which unfortunately went missing), in order to
avoid unnecessary duplication of work.
> This would not exclude making it available on a public web page?
Yes. I'll replace the tarball with another one without the link
parser but including the PatGen code. Unfortunately I detected the
problem only after I uploaded the file and started composing the
message, and I thought I'd leave it for now lest the other work
go unnoticed.

Why not?

Echoing Simon... Bring it on! The more (components, peripherals & toys)
the merrier!... However if active recruitment is required be prepared
for... well, active recruiting...
as for a project name, how about calling it:
The XSL-FO Toybox
=================
http://xslfo-toy-box.sourceforge.net/
or simply:
The Toybox
=================
http://toybox.sourceforge.net/
or:
Toys
====
http://toys.sourceforge.net/
Toys for Geeks
==============
http://toys-for-geeks.sourceforge.net/
XML Toys
========
http://xmltoys.sourceforge.net/
Java XML Toys
=============
http://javaxmltoys.sourceforge.net/
or something... I think I like XMLToys...

Perhaps a classification system such as this for the
project-name/applications/[insert apps here]
project-name/peripherals/[insert peripherals here]
project-name/examples/[insert examples here]
project-name/so-on/[insert so-on here]
project-name/docs/[insert docs here]
