1) What details would you like? 

I had started out at www.gnu-m68hc11.org and was using
anonymous CVS at sources.redhat.com where the password is
anoncvs. 

The current instruction "When prompted for password for
anoncvs, simply press the enter key " is correct. However,
since the context (anonymous CVS Access) is established by
the heading, the phrase "for anoncvs" is redundant. My error
was to read "use" instead of "for" in this instance. Maybe
it's a dyslexic thing. 


2) I see your dilemma. 

"Only project members..." would be clear (to me) if the term
"project member" was clearly defined (on the same page).
Since Savannah is also a project in the eyes of a newbie,
having logged in seems like you are a member or user of
something. I reviewed my notes and had circled that text but
could not find a definition. I was scanning for the term
"developer" to avoid that path. 

Are all "members" in fact "developers"? If they are, then
the term "member" may shift the reader's focus from [what
privileges they have] to [how developers are associated with
projects (i.e. membership)].  


3)
Hmmm...ok ...
File? What file? 
Probably a silly question.
