[AG-TECH] Autoplace

[Socrates]

Hi Roman,

There is also the new UCL Subversion repository and Trac content management
system of the media tools (including rat and the common library), supported
by the SUMOVER project:

https://frostie.cs.ucl.ac.uk/nets/mmedia
http://www.cs.ucl.ac.uk/research/sumover/

We are in touch with the ANL guys and other contributors to integrate AG
vic/rat features and other patches into our Subversion repository in the
short future, so any contributions you may have are also welcome.

Thanks,
--
Socrates.
