svn-commits-list exists and you can limit the email receive to one or more projects (or all). > Anyway, the centralization and common CVS repo was really a big part > of how the community worked.

Don't like handing out shell on that machine, but perhaps some webinterface when possible (after mango). -- Regards, Olav _______________________________________________ foundation-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
