Tim, I forgot to add your name to the list, which may have been the most
important name to omit as I think you are the best suited to be the
administrator of our Sourceforge project.

To answer the post on the usage of CVS vs StarTeam, I don't have an answer.
I would like it if Bill, JeffH and I come up with a plan for this (or
anybody else that wants to take the ball with this and run!).  My thought is
that we are comfortable using StarTeam and it has done us well, and that we
also need an external face to present our tip revisions and for them to
post.  I don't like that they would be separate over the long term
unfortunately, but maybe we can put an acceptable process in place (Beth
this needs to be coordinated with the Change Control Board process you are
working on).  Questions as to how to evaluate submissions, support variants,
post source, post executables, etc. etc. need to be spelled out.  

CVS brutal???  Definitely is for me right now!!  Tens of thousands of open
source developers can't be all wrong though :)

Question: What is a feature that is present on this project website but
doesn't work the way you wish it would or could?

The CVS interface seems pretty brutal. Is this supposed to replace StarTeam?
