I've put up a public darcs repo (hosted by Cryo) at
http://netrek.warped.us/public-server

In it are all the patches I have pushed forward for integration into
Vanilla.  I still have a bunch of patches on my working server that aren't
pushed yet (namely, Sturgeon and newbie/pret stuff).  I will no longer be
sending patches to the mailing list unless I feel they need review outside
of the regular IRC channel inhabitants.
Recent patches include an option for observer muting, an option to prevent
permanently banned players from getting a slot/connecting to server, and
an option for preT idling that was last seen on the guinness server (orbit
homeworld while cloaked, undamaged, and no t-mode to avoid taking damage).
