Yes, SVG is planned to be implemented in about a month. The PostScript
parsing needs to be enhanced a bit (some simplifications were takan
because of similarity of PS and PDF). The idea is to get only map in SVG
(and other
formats), leaving the Atlas for PDF.

We don't use online CVS repository -- I would have no possibility to
access it. We used to put the development tarball on the web page every
week or so, but that led only to confusion.
