[Savannah-hackers] Aspell and Savannah

[Kevin Atkinson]

Hi, there.  I am the maintainer of the Aspell project which I recently
registered with Savannah.  Since Savannah very little in terms of
documentation at the moment I have several questions.

When I registered my project I elected not be part of the GNU Project
because I didn't want to deal with all the red tape associated with
doing so.  In particular I prefer using the term Open Source instead
of Free Software because I thing the former is clearer and I really do
not fell like having to write GNU/Linux instead of just Linux every
time I refer to that operating system.  I agree with 90% of the FSF
views but do not want to have to promote the other 10% I do not agree
with.

That being said, if I do not become part of the GNU Project what
resources will be eventually be available to me.  In particular, do
you plan on providing some sort of bug tracker, or provide the
ability to have direct access to the projects web page instead of
having to do everything via CVS.  Also, is there any chance I could get
the ability to execute custom CGI programs or set up virtual hosting.
If you can not offer these extended web services it not that big of a
deal for me as I have an account at ibiblio which I can use.

Also, would it at all be possible for me to have shell access to my CVS
repository.  I plan on eventually using CVS to maintain the
dictionaries for Aspell however I would like to set up some scripts to
run after a commit to make sure everything is still valid.  If you are
not willing to provide this (I can understand as it is a tall order
for someone you don't even know) would it be possible to have someone
set this up for me if I provide the necessary scripts (which I will test
on a local CVS repository).  I would also like to be able to have fine
grain control on commit rights for the CVS trees.  Ideally I would
like to be able to give word list maintainers the ability to commit
changes for there word lists without having to give them write access
to the entire tree.  If this type of thing is not possible would it be
possible to set up a CVS mirror?  This way I can provide maintainers
of the wordlists access to a private CVS repository on my home machine
which implements the fancy services I mentioned above while having a
public CVS repository of Savannah for everyone else to access.

Thanks in advance.
