Hi,
They do not want to use Savannah simply as a mirror. They have requested to
have the CVS server outside of Savannah but I assume that other services such
as bug tracking, support manager, news system, mailing lists and so on will be
actively used.  I think we should accept that projects use a CVS server
different from subversions. This would imply some changes in our current
interface but I think those changes will be worth considering it; in the
future we decide to split subversions CVS server, allowing each project to
choose the server that has a better connectivity for them.

Cheers,
Jaime
