We have two "projects" in CVS, website, which is the current live website,
and site_devel, which is where, on occassion, a little bit more tinkering
happens with the rewrite. Back in the distant past, somebody, I think it
was you, made the comment along the lines of it being a "good thing" for
us to provide anonymous read-only access to our website code, because as
Free Software advocates, it only makes sense. It also makes sense, for the
site_devel project, for other CLUEbies, and particularly admins, to be
able to audit the code, or just look at things and make suggestions. This
is one piece of it.

The other thing is that it would be nice to be able to allow volunteers to
commit to the site_devel project, but not the website project. But that's
not an immediate concern from my point of view.
