Agreed.  So what would make working with our project easier?  We have released
the source code in the distribution. As for SCM, we currently have the source
code in a private Perforce Depot.  I made arrangements with Perforce for this
open source project and got free licenses to run this project on Perforce. The
Perforce depot could be opened up to other developers. I tend to like Perforce
more than CVS, anyways. Is the fact that we use Perforce instead of CVS a big
deal to you?
