I believe in the push model of CTM, great for everyone with intermittent, slow, or expensive when mobile net access etc. (eg dark side of the moon ;-), or laptop on trains, offices behind other companies firewalls etc) I would do more, beyond hosting & mail lists, what's stopped me before is A) you ran it fine B) opacity: similarity of crontab script names do-A do-B do-C & multiplicity of enormous trees. A guide would be useful. I'm not clear which if all the trees on the server are used by your scripts or if some tree are ones I created & could prune. Can I put your crontab & scripts up read only under http://ctm.berklix.org along with 1 or more du lists, as 1st stage to me & others understanding with your advice how it works, before we try modifying svn commands to git. I would omit secret generator keys to avoid later spoofing of the feed ? Others helping would be welcome, especially re. git commands, nice if conversion work & knowledge is shared.
