 I don't think it's a good idea for me to have cvs access, yet ;).

 Humm, if I had any clue about php I'd wonder if it would be possible to have
/cvsroot/hurd/hurd/tasks be the savannah task list.

 Well, I gave savannah task manager a try, but I couldn't figure out how to

savannah-hackers and see if they have any ideas.
