You have asked for two hard things.  We have very few active
developers.  So, if you want the hard things done, you'll need to
convince someone to do them, or do them yourself. TANSTAAFL.

As for the gedasymbols CVS issue, CVS solves two problems: it is easy
to manage, and it prevents abuse.  Adding accounts is trivial for me
to do, anonymous netizens can't upload unrelated (possibly illegal
and/or dangerous) content, and every file is associated with a legal
owner (for copyright purposes).

And before you say "XYZ can do those things" remember that someone has
to *make* XYZ do those things.  That someone is not going to be me.
If someone else wants to take gedasymbols to the "next level", that
someone will have to step up to the task.
