Should we put the TODO on the Wiki instead of on the source? I think 
that the roadmap concept is good because it show clearly the state of 
the project. So I suggest moving things from TODO in the CVS into 
roadmap on the Wiki.

And we should really make backups of the Wiki, otherwise we have the 
risk to forget everything !

I do not think so. Eli, any objection?

Agreed.

Doxygen is already partially used, please let it there. I plan to make 
scripts on www.globulation2.org that create doc on a regular basis. By 
the way, is cron working for users?

Well, why not, but we have to know that CVS is really not efficient for 
binary files.

What is the problem? The last time I tried it was working perfectly!
By the way, it's good to plan backups, and we have to keep them in mind, 
but as we are small, it's better to have a metaserver well integrated 
with the Wiki using a unified login than a 100% uptime.
