That's cool ... from my perspective I think a metacello importer will do a better job... since it is closer to the idea of a project than the monticello repositories which sometimes are very fine grained.

So if you manage to get a working version of the metacello importer please let me know. Meanwhile I'll try to figure this out using the monticello importer - importing either the whole repository or just selected packages following a handcrafted, subjective heuristic ;)

I am currently working on a metacello importer. I have been slow on this due to numerous deadlines. Having someone bothering me regularly will definitely help reshuffling my todo list :-)

And then based on that we can eventually try to get the results.
