The "recent wiki changes" shocked me a bit as your most recent mails sounded to 
me a bit like you might do things without consensus and then seeing a list of over 100 
changes and many deletions. But as a looked it through a bit: Thanx for categorization.

ssh works by private/public-key only i guess.

It works. I deleted one of your posts that was doubled. "Only" notification on 
new posts doesn't work. Bad enough.

Program version, not content?

Why do you want to change all infrastructure??
I'm fine with the wiki.
I'm fine with the forum.
I'm fine with the bugtracker (if only it was used. far too much is brought to 
the ml).
I'm fine with cvs although i never did major merges. If we change soon my vote 
is for git.

Security might be an aspect as long as we have no real backup server that jumps 
in if server 1 is broken.
