Well, if all goes as planned, our CVS will be on SourceForge
tommorrow, May 5.  We've been testing it the past few days and
everything looks great.

The plan is to shutdown CVS at 6pm Germany time and switch the DNS to
point to the new address.  The DNS change should HOPEFULLY take only
3-5 hours.  If I am told otherwise before 6pm tomorrow, then we'll
wing it.

Anyway, when the DNS changes have made it through the 'net, we'll be
ready to go.

Here is the ob. FAQ

Q: What will I, as a developer, have to do
A: NOTHING!  We have made the new setup a perfect mirror for right
   now.  You'll just have to wait until the DNS change has made it to
   you and you're set.

Q: I thought we needed ssh?
A: We will eventually... but to minimize the transition hassles, we
   decided to go with pserver now.. a perfect mirror

Q: Will I need to sign-up with SourceForge?
A: No.  We aren't hooked into the SourceForge system quite yet... we
   just have our own kick-ass server that is a (you guessed it) a
   perfect mirror of our current setup

Q: Will we be in the SourceForge system eventually?
A: Yes.  We will be slowly transitioning to use their web-based admin
   tools and maybe FTP and mailing lists and bug tracking.. we'll see.

Q: So I'll eventually have to get ssh?
A: Yes.. but we'll give plenty of notice
