Well, it's not that bad, as the demo stuff is rather small. We could keep
it on the private ftp in case Ryan can no longer host that CVS. But as
long as he can, we should keep the plot there. 

I mean I have a recent checkout on two different boxes, so chances are
good that the stuff does not get lost.

Right. Besides, Uzdun'kal is even harder to pronounce than Adonthell ;).
Would only lead to lots of questions.

wastesedge, I would say. If the Savannah guys could get the current
repository from Ryan, we wouldn't even lose the history. Not that this
would hurt much, but who knows? 

I can contact Josh about that, and once I know more, I'd ask the
cvshackers to get the repository from Ryan. (Just like the Sourceforge
CVS).

Btw, the website should be checked in any minute now; module 'website'.
