I think we have to be *really* clear about this. Is this orkflow
what you mean?

                                  Gold

But I am not sure how to implement the ??? process. I thought that
Tim was still responsible to create Axiom Gold.  Maybe we can use
svn to create diffs which are sent to Tim for his processing.

So the workflow would be like this:

                -----------------> Tim --->  axiom--main-1 (Gold)

Is that correct?

I hope my ASCII art is readable.
