>Da boss mentioned something about a public CVS tree....

I've been trying to figure out how to get one going, but the basic problem
is that I would need time to sysadmin the server, give people logins, etc.,
and time is what I don't have.  I am going to ask my Apache friends to
see if there is any interest in running it as an Apache side-project
(using apache.org as the development server).

In the mean time, I suggest that the following process be followed:

   1) Somebody volunteer to collect and coordinate patches.
      A patch is the output from the command

           diff -c oldfile newfile

   2) Everyone who has a patch to 2.01 post it to the list.  Please
      include a description above the patch, and [PATCH] at the
      beginning of the Subject line.

   3) Create an Agenda file listing a summary of the patches and post
      it to the list.

   4) Solicit votes as to what patches should be included in the next
      release.  Anybody can vote, but I suggest that only votes from
      people who are contributing changes/documentation be counted
      [the other voters just influence the workers].

   5) I'll take the approved patches (and only the approved patches),
      apply them to the distribution, and put up a 3.0b1 if the output
      format changes or 2.2b1 if it doesn't.

Keeping track of the Agenda and proposed changes is needed even if we
have remote CVS.  Basically, you folks need to decide how you want to
work together and resolve conflicts.  Coding is the easy part.
