-> I've heard several requests for Subversion, one offer for Darcs, no
-> requests for CVS, and a "no" from David on hosting at MEMS.  I won't be
-> able to contribute further for a while but here's my vote:
->
-> ** +1 for any Subversion-Based system similar to SourceForge
->
-> ** Making a web CVS/Subversion interface plugin for Quixote is a good
-> idea but sounds like a big project.
->
-> ** I know nothing about Darcs except a quick look at the web site, so
-> I'm hesitant to say yes.  If everyone agrees it's OK, and it has a
-> command-line client similar to Subversion with the usual
-> commit-update-conflict concepts, OK.  I'm just not hot on learning the
-> idiosynchracies of another tool.  I already have to use both Subversion
-> and CVS for different projects, and I barely got out of using Perforce.

I'm not unwilling to host a svn archive, but I can't install or maintain
it (no time for yet another package).  I'm using darcs because it's (a)
simple, (b) simple, (c) easy to set up for read-only archives (just make
the repository Web accessible), and (d) simple.

So, if someone is willing to take on the administrative burden of
getting it running & keeping it up to date wrt security patches, I'm
happy to provide the hosting space.
