Thats one of the reasons I gave you an account. You and other 
like-minded people can/will be able to get to the domain via the shell 
to fix things if something goes horribly wrong. And the same could be 
said of you, you know.

I was looking into darcs, actually. I thought you might think it was too 
far out there to be used, but I really like it's feature set. One of the 
best points is that I believe everyone can have a complete copy of the 
tree, so in the event of a server failure, we have multiple copies we 
can roll back to, on top of other backup schemes. On a plus side, darcs 
already has a trac plugin, so assuming it actually works, we wouldn't 
have to change the website.

As I mentioned in the other mailing list, the reply-to header that 
google sends somehow makes it the only thing you reply to in a "reply 
all". So, if the other mail programs act the same way, it will 
functionally eliminate the double mails we're currently getting.
