Good questions.  Let me answer each of them.

Not for a while.  We have decided that CVS was not a good way to 
deliver the Xitami source code, taking too much effort to build.  We 
will provide source kits as zip/tgz files.  At a later stage we may 
decide to make daily snapshots of the development CVS.

The iMatix NZ site will be absorbed into the imatix.com site.

It is stable and we are using it for production services.

We are in the process of repackaging all our source code.  iMatix.com 
will have news once we are ready to go public.  Basically we will 
have packages for:

 - base tools (SFL, SMT, GSL, htmlpp, etc.)
 - Xitami 2.4 (including archaic SFL & SMT)
 - Xitami 2.5 (including archaic SFL & SMT)

plus Xitami 3.0 once that starts to become stable.

Yes, we have planned to make such extensions to sflxml.  However, I 
can't tell you when.

Come to Brussels and visit us.  We are always happy to share a beer.
