I've tried accessing it over https and tried my Google user name (with an without the @gmail.com), but not had any luck (probably because I am not a member). Is there a checkout only role? If not, then I could always add my plugins (if given access) if they are useful and change them to MIT/GPL rather than just MIT
I'd love for you to commit your plugins - I just added you to the project, so you can feel free to commit them (into trunk/plugins, of course).
Or will there be a way to check them out via a proxy page (which either checks out live or is generated by a cron job).
Yes, we'll be providing at least one mirror for the repository. Hopefully I'll have that setup soon. --John
