I think that it's good for you to install some kind of wincvs software 
and commit them yourself. It's good because so we (and others) can start 
codevloping at the same time. I have installed tortoisecvs programm and 
it's really simple and straightforward to configure and use. Or if you 
are against this idea i will of course put files to cvs myself.

At the moment this files is in www.postimees.ee but we should change 
code to get this file from feedreader.sourceforge.com/version.txt for 
example

These datastructures are new to me.  So maybe you can start the process 
and i can of course go on myself, if i know how to do it.

I guess, let's put this version up to sourceforge as download (binaries 
and install) and then start implementing new features. At the moment 
there is no download files and that drives people away from our project.

I think, that's ok. Where's the source? ;)
