In particular, we can use the "files" area for simple html-based downloads of distribution files. CVS is needed only for controlling the development codes by making it easier to coordinate efforts and keeping track of who is doing what and when.
Yes, we do not really have to use CVS, but if we want to use it, we could split IDE into individual stacks and/or groups of scripts to facilitate development by multiple people. We would need an "assembler" that would put a proper IDE from those components for testing and distribution, but that should be a trival thing within MC.
The "Tracker" and "RFE" areas may become handy to follow up on who is doing what on the long-term. With a small and persistent group as ours is now this might be an overkill but it may allow those less involved to see what's going on and possibly contribute. It just frees you Richard from having to track things offline.
Here is a simple info page from another open source project I am involved to some degree. I followed the instructions there and had no problems fetching the sources, although admitedly the cvs stuff is somewhat unintuitive.

One thing that was not discussed on the list, or I have missed it somehow, is the official web site for MC IDE. SourceForge will not suffice if we want to make IDE available to more general public. MetaCard's web site would be a perfect place since this basically will be continuation of MetaCard as it was to us, but I wonder whether Scott would let us use it and what plans he has for that site on the long term. A corner on Rev's site could suffice, but then we would probably have to go through Rev to post anything since it would be part of their corporate web site. I think having a mention and link there would be better for us.
