syntax highlighting repository

[Nick Sutterer]

he guys,

i am currently writing a syntax highlighting-up pattern for ruby, it's very 
robust and may be considered as stable, but i always encounter some new 
issues to treat and keep track of the pattern-file using svn.

i am wondering if there have been any thoughts on a svn-based highlighting 
repository, so "developers" can update the pattern files and tag "stable" 
versions. or is this too much overhead since patterns are not that 
complicated?
anyway, lots of patterns on the ftp are incomplete or even ugly (a good start, 
though ;-) - these could be improved via svn. same could apply to macros, 
smart-ident, coloring, ... was there any discussion about it?

cheers,

	nick
