I came across http://sourceforge.net/projects/plucker/ and http://plucker.sourceforge.net/ but there doesn't seem to be anything going on there. Is it an intentional placeholder or forgotten or ... ? That was originally going to be the location for Plucker, until we realized that

I don't suppose there's a mailing list, like [EMAIL PROTECTED], that receives log messages for each CVS commit? There isn't a mailing list per-se, but I get a copy of every cvs log message that is sent into the servers, procmailed into a separate folder, so I can make sure everything
