I'm actually using mindterm in my final project in web design class. I'll be offering a link to the source version I happen to have. Ultimately, it is the page author's responsibility to provide a link to source, not the server operator's. One way could be to place the mindterm jar into a world-readable location, then have a mindterm-src deb which places the source tarball/zip (or both; but I'd reccomend keeping the source in a zip file) in the same location. -- Ferret
