Previously we mainly used to put stuff into test_area in the HEAD branch being careful about not touching the "main trunk" in client/ unduly. This method is still available today. It has the advantage of seeing changes to HEAD as they happen which a private branch would not, so there. > noticed that if one does a plain checkout of the cvs , > and then tries to add something, it can't be done, That does not seem correct. A plain non-anon checkout following the standard procedure described on savannah will indeed give you a commitable copy of the CVS - if you have commit rights in general (which you do). > but perhaps a checkout of one of the branches , then > some coding can be added.

I understand the reasoning in the latter half of your sentiment (despite that it is incorrect) but I strongly doubt that has anything to do with the number of contributors. As long as someone does not care about branches they will always get the latest revision from HEAD as it has always been from day one.
