Savannah does provide a nightly tar ball of the CVS repository that can be downloaded for backup purposes. I do this via cron for the project I administrate. Along with agreeing on the site to host nmh repository, we need to decide on the following: . Who shall have CVS write access to the repository? . Who shall be the "release master"? . Who shall be the project administrator? . Shall the host for the mailing list change with the move? Now, if there is agreement on Savannah, I am willing to start the process of getting the project started on it unless someone, more qualified, is up to it. One has to submit a request to add a new project, but I see no reason for it not being approved. I recently submitted a project and it got approved in a day. They are also good about importing an existing CVS repository. I think the only thing that the savannah folks really check for is the license used for the project and I see nothing with nmh's license that would be a problem. --ewh
