I see.. the trouble switching from SF to linuxcnc.org should have been minimal. Maybe the documentation is not clear enough. If that is so, we should improve it. > If I was only running linux at this end, generating keys would probably > not be > a problem, but I have not had to set ANYTHING up for any other project so > having to work out how to do that now is just another brick wall to climb. > > EMC does have something in common with all projects thought - navigation > through the website/wiki/documentation to find out things is just as > painful ;) Sadly, I agree with you. But the wiki is a public undertaking (anyone can change and update it), the documentation is not quite where it should be, but it's come a long way recently. The website was mainly my own effort, so I am very open to any pointers or constructive criticism. > I would LIKE to get in a position where I can offer Linux/EMC2 as an > alternative to Windows/Mach3 on the ITX boxes I currently ship, so I have > been > trying to find some time to get back into things.

If you want to offer Linux/EMC2 as an alternative, than IMHO you don't need to keep track with CVS or development versions. You need to keep track of the _released_ and supported versions (where your users are sure to receive community support), and those have been announced (I did it personally) both on Sourceforge and on the website's front page. You can also opt-in for receiving an email when there's a new release for emc2 (right now there are 4 users monitoring for such situations).
