As others who have posted on the subject lately, I am prepared to offer
Web/wiki/cvs space on a reasonably well connected host. I am also
willing to assemble/review some documentation. I am not, however a
developer.

The whole issue of releases is a major problem with dspam. It shouldn't be expected that everyone installs from CVS. Distro packages are important, for example - a lot of people are still using 3.6.8 from the Debian repositories. As I understand it the released 3.8.0 isn't great, it needs patching, and the likelihood of getting a major distro to create packages from a CVS snapshot is minimal, with the exception of Gentoo.

Distro packages are important, as they provide a mechanism for bug fixes and security updates to be distributed to users who simply will not monitor the mailing lists and download and install individual patches as they come out. (I am one of those people, I use 3.6.8 from Ubuntu's repos.)
