That would be great.

SVN is a really good idea to store a maven repository I think. It may even be used in addition to publishing to the central repo.
I'd like to start publishing a ServiceMix 3.0.1 release, but I really need to know where is the maven repository that we should use, as we need to include them in different places in the distribution so that users can access the maven repo (it would not be needed if they were rsynced on ibiblio). Could we start by publishing to our own svn repository ? http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/servicemix/repo ?
