Regarding the CVS discussion.  I have never used CVS and I'll bet a lot 
of the other manager types haven't either.  That said, the text left me 
confused.  However, I have a general knowledge about what CVS does, and 
I definately think we should use it.

Regarding the relational database model,  I think most of the discussion 
has been to not use an RDBMS, but rather something like XBase.  Of 
course the XBase tables could/should be normalized as much as possible 
and not hurt performance.  Does anyone have any suggestions/preferences 
for documenting the database?

Also, I'm ignorant as to what a "DTD" is.  We should probably define 
acronymns at least once.  I may have been guilty of causing this kind of 
confusion too.  When in doubt, ask.
