It is not exactly the syllabic nucleus of the Vulcan language, but it could be useful. If someone can offer a better long-term place for this, please chime in. An SVN dump file is a text file, so I could gzip it down to something a bit smaller, maybe 50 GB. It could be even more useful, of course, if hosted as an actual (read-only) repository, to consult the history of the code base. I'll hold on to it for now, but note that this is not currently in any controlled data center. It is just sitting at home on a shelf, susceptible to the whims of fire, water, wind, the fates and cats. It would be good to get it under suitable curation.
