OK - Sounds good to me. Who needs access? A list of web developers
along with email addresses & required username would be good.

I agree, Sourceforge do some Nice_Things[tm] with CVS :)

OK, as I've said in other mails, this host has 26gig ATM & a 10mbit
connection, if you think this will suffice & don't have any better
offers I'd be pleased to donate it ;-)

Agreed.

OK, one last thing, could someone add me to the list of developers on
Sourceforge? (Doc_Linux). Since I'm new to this project do we have
a list of what needs doing? I'm willing to write documentation (using
Docbook) if it needs doing - I'm not really a coder ;-)
