Actually, the only thing I had trouble with (except my lack of
confidence which made me read at least *part* of the documentation)
was figuring out I had to install python-tk (on my laptop, I know it
is also required for Andrey's dictool) and what are the right helper
options for Galeon (do not check "Run in terminal" or "Processes
URL").

Once all of that was right, I had no trouble (I have not tried
modifying the document yet, and alqua.com is refusing connections
again).

That feature would be very nice if it can be integrated with CVS. But
considering the reliability problems we have been experiencing with
tmresources, I do not think we should use it for core tasks.

Still, it could already provide an appreciable added value if it can be
configured to use an external CVS (on Savannah)... But I think the
whole thing is going to be too complicated to be administrated easily
on your side.

Some user already complained about this error before, but I think that
was not fixed because we could not reproduce it. Now that you have a
way to reproduce the problem maybe you could fix it.
