Yesterday, when I watched some of those NL pages scroll by in my psftp window, 
I saw that server-side copies of folders used by FrontPage Extensions to 
support authoring were present in some of them.  These are folders with names 
such as _vti_cnf.

It is somewhat odd that those would be included in the SVN. My first thought is 
that they might just be authoring artifacts dragged along into SVN.

Do you know whether FrontPage Extensions were/are actually being used server 
side?

I'd be surprised if those would be supported on an ASF-supported hosting 
(though I could be mistaken).  There may be security issues with such setups.  
(I use them, but only locally and not on internet-reachable servers.  I mark 
such folders to be ignored by SVN and they are never committed to a repository.)

I figured that, since you'd done the checkouts I would just make a copy of your 
set (in case you started working on it) and then download them to my computer 
from [email protected].  

The copy was quick.  

The download was very time consuming, though I did not have to pay attention to 
it while I was working on other things.  It seems that transferring 28,000 
files one at a time in a 1.21 GB FTP transfer can be pretty slow.

Now that's done, I can go to sleep (it is just midnight here).

That was a great idea.  If you grab any more, let us know.

Well mostly I did this because I wanted to use them for my little "project".

However, I can do the other areas (Accepted and Incubator) as well. No 
problem.
