Damn, I didn't even know they were there.  I think I got it changed so
it'll notify me now.  If you're interested in CVS access, that'd be cool
too -- it's a lot easier to coordinate.

But being easily distractable I've started reimplementing FFK in an
attempt to simplify it, turning the form definition into a class
definition, and utilizing new-style classes and metaclasses (modeled on
SQLObject).  So I'm afraid there's something of a moving target here,
which makes coordination extra hard.  I think the result will be neat
though -- I'm slowly moving toward an ideal where each page is a web
service, with intermediaries (like FFK) translate the interfaces.

I've been meaning to try subversion... right now it seems to require
Apache 2, and I have other Apache 1.3 stuff.  And the Debian packages
were incomplete last time I tried too.  So I've finally gotten used to
CVS.  

Anyway, I don't know of a good CVS technique unless you can commit your
changes, at which point it's pretty straight forward.  Which you are
welcome to do if you wish.
