Yes, the committers repos is only available to committers. Its absence from ViewCVS is probably more of an oversight than intended, but that *is* the correct standpoint. The repos contains committer-private information; in particular, the hackathon signup sheet is there -- the hackathon is not a public event. I've been thinking about putting a list of all the top-level projects in there and detailing who is on the PMC for each, along with the chair. Partly for my own benefit when I need to mail the PMC Chairs for their reports to the Board :-) > If so then that makes it > a semi-private place.

While we don't want each person to have a field day in there, I'd also point out that you *can* put whatever you think is appropriate into it. Just try to be considerate about the structure you use. Until we switch to Subversion, CVS is rather stiff with its directory layout :-) Cheers, -g -- Greg Stein, http://www.lyra.org/
