Thanks for your answer.
Well, you have hit the issue on the head there -- to butcher a
metaphor. The problem is that reasonably speaking, I can't expect people
to know up front whether they will want to contribute to the project. And
because it is web stuff, it is not as if I am distributing a binary vs.
source. It is all scripts (PHP).
So... another question is, if I start someone off with anonymous CVS, and
then they decide Yeah Boy I Wanna Contribute, is it messy & clumsy to
change them to a new username with commit privileges? They would be using
the repository via pserver.
