The package was done with release r27, current seems to be r37.

I've added the mod-geocache ML to CC.

Generally speaking, I agree wholeheartly. But since the project is very young, Thomas may prefer to still do major changes in the structure of mod-geocache before freezing for a release.

A numbering scheme for subversion checkouts could be to add the revision number as a last digit, let's say mod-geocache-0.0.0.27. This way releases numbers could increase monotonically with time.
Anyway, I would not add software, which does not have an official release to stable.
Should we have a kind of experimental repo, where proof of concepts, etc. can be placed, such as the mod-geocache package? Too much overhead?
