Third option: freedesktop.org SVN (or CVS).  Chris Aillon and I were
punting around the idea of putting NM onto freedesktop.org, since it
really is desktop agnostic, a lot like HAL.  If there aren't any
objections, I guess that's the options I'd prefer.  That way, we have
everything together in one place, and it's in a place that's got a track
record of both KDE and GNOME devs working together :)
