cvs hooks
Why don't we add some hooks in our CVS setup to post a message to this
list whenever something is committed? Honestly, I don't care about
what is committed, but it seems that plenty of people are upset that
changes are occuring without them knowing.

Do we have that sort of CVS access at sourceforge? We had something
sort of like that set up back in the day at Nupedia (all commits were
written to a page that Larry, who started it all, could look at and
decide whether or not he could run his "install all this stuff" script
to update the site).

Just a thought, feel free to ignore it.

Useful for coders, probably less useful for the non-coders than a simple
explanation "I did this/that". I try to post such an explanation when I
change something, others don't. That may have something to do with the
fact that such announcements often trigger endless discussions .....
