One question, is it possible for guests to modify pages, or must one be
authentified ?
It could be usefull to let some pages within full access.

Moreover, are there some ACL implemented ? I mean is it possible to
create a "documentation" group which could only modify pages related to
doc ? (maybe not useful for us, but worth knowing)

On the other hand, SF CVS servers are not known to be reliable and I
won't be bothered to switch to somethinkg else ...
