I had originally thought of just using CVS as a source repository where
we could both (all?) work on it together, but kept separate from the
regular Web stuff and not viewable on the live site. However, Uwe's and
Mikhael's comments lead me to think that a separate directory that got
propagated to the Web site might be easiest for all concerned, so that
neither of us needed to keep a separate Web server in sync with CVS to
let the other developers see the work in progress.

Yes. Jason, what would be most practical for this purpose, a
subdirectory under fvwm-web, or a separate directory at the same level
as fvwm-web? (I'm guessing the former.) I think our main concern is to
keep the test stuff from getting included in any release or snapshot
tarballs, but making it easy to feed to the Web site.
Does anyone have any objections to having the new test pages viewable
from the regular Web site, given the special test URL? Are there
negative implications we haven't thought of?

I believe Mikhael indicated that the SourceForge site is PHP-enabled. I
don't know of any other mirrors...are there any? I don't know how the
mirror(s) are fed, but I guess the same considerations apply here
vis-รก-vis the directory structure.
Cheers,
Bob
