a webpage even if very very simple is usually recommended; you can just edit the one which 
comes in the "template" folder of wxCode...

you could do it, but please, do first a try to setup a CVS client on your PC and to upload
your sources to CVS.
CVS is a powerful system used to store any kind of files which could be modified
contemporaneously by multiple developers. To know more about CVS, I suggest you to read
the intro of the CVSBOOK freely available chapters (do a google search)...

if you are using win32 (as I guess from your mail user agent) I suggest you to use 
TortoiseCVS: extremely easy to use and almost painless (follow maintguide)

it is *strongly* advised since CVS is a very convenient way to provide sources to other 
developers.
Also, it lets you to take advantage of some things like wxCode bakefile build system (see 
links to bakefile in maintguide) ;)

Thanks for your submission !
