Sourceforge comes with a CVS repository
(http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=753&group_id=1#cvs) if
you wish to use it.

I was asked to set up both, but wasn't at the mtg, so will wait until others
resolve the demarcation and get back to me about what's needed this end!

Cheers,
 - Andrew
