Which is noisy beyond believe at times - signal to noise ratio is pretty bad pretty often. We seem to be trying to get more exposure to the 3.0 branch - checkouts of "." are now spitting out 3.0. With the people now using 3.0 it's somethings a bit much to ask they stay current with current (no pun intended). > | The cvs-all mailing list will allow you to see the commit Oh, those are easy to read quicky ;-).

I think this mainly depends on where it's placed. If it were prominantly placed, it might take a few sticks of clue (Hey! Either read "current" or at least read the heads up file!), but catch on quickly enough. > work, he or she will need to be convinced that it'll pay off.

I'd certainly be willing to offer this help but I'm only able to commit to once or twice a day 6 days a week. I secondly don't have CVS access in order to maintain it. If I were to work on it, the notes would be brief - and if they required detailed instructions a url to the post in -current would be provided, or the url to a document in the local source tree (whatever is appropriate).
