Sounds good! We could try to create some simple osmscout data repo spec - for example how a JSON document describing available map packs looks like. Like this repos/repo mirrors would be independent from how they are created (your scripts, the modrana-data-repository generator, manual generation, etc.) and people will still be able to use them in a unified way from applications supporting the spec.

My bachelors & masters thesis were led by a supervisor from the NLP lab. We are still in touch after I've finished my studies and the current Monav data repository (and the whole modrana.org website) is hosted by the lab with his & labs consent. And I do credit them for this where appropriate this.

I will of course first ask them if they are OK with generating & hosting another data set, but I kinda expect it should not be an issue. In comparison to some of the corpus processing they do our data sets are very very small.
