Sure!

Afaics we currently have a few sources for the ion3 code:
- ion3-plus-darcs.tar.bz2 found in the #ion topic
- ion3plus-source.tar posted by 'milimouse'
- notion-20100409.tar.gz

It appears notion-20100409 has some recent updates not found in either of the 
2 darcs snapshots. On the other hand, the darcs snapshots might allow us to 
keep some of the version control history intact while moving to git - which 
would be a huge win.

What I would *like* to do is:
- import a darcs snapshot (with all history) into a git repo
- as 1 commit, update it to also include the updates found in 
  notion-20100409.tar.gz (but not the name change)
- as 1 commit, apply the name change

Unfortunately, both darcs snapshots above somehow seem broken or otherwise
unsuitable for conversion to a git repo keeping history intact.

Unless someone comes up with a non-'broken' snapshot or finds a way to get the
history from the darcs snapshots above, I think I'll just import 
notion-20100409.tar.gz (with the changes to LICENSE reverted).
