Go ahead :-)))

I would recommend to publish it at github (http://www.github.com).
(Hoping that using git is not causing you a headache :))

Without the "la" -> biber is a bibtex replacement.
bibLAtex and biber is the ideal team. The biblatex guys wrote a very
good documentation. 291 pages :-)
But "flourished" also doesn't appear there.

Maybe someone of a TUG nearby you wants to assist?

The source is there:

 * http://java.net/projects/looks/sources
 * http://java.net/projects/forms/sources
 * Common is with sources:
http://www.jgoodies.com/download/libraries/common/jgoodies-common-1_4_0.zip

Similar to debian, isn't it? OK. at debian, some systems do it for me
and provide precompiled binaries :) But with apt-src, I could also do
it for myself...

Isn't a subversion repository enough? :)
