I don't want to give ssh access to everyone on my server. And even if I did, we can't do exactly the same, savannah provides a huge infrastructure for managing ssh users. > The problem with this is glob2 wiki is currently not on a host that can add > Mercurial I do not think.

The fact the host si temporary is a good reason not to use it. Yet the account problem remains. > Ok.

Well, I've tons of others things to do in life (such as a PhD...), sorry my time is not fully devoted to glob2. And even if I find time to do it, the account problem is not solved yet (see below). > Again, you don't solve the maintainance issue.

I don't know how to setup mercurial but I know reading so I can do it, with enough time. In addition, the user access is not a trivial problem, even if anonymous access could solve the problem. > Again, if you can keep history, do it.

I have the feeling you do not realise that pushing work on very loaded people while discarding as non-existant the issue they presentedis at best very impolite.
