I'm very pleased to announce that we no longer need to maintain the
web pages in CVS as well as Subversion -- the live web site is now
updating directly from a Subversion working copy.
Jason Robbins <jrobbins@collab.net> not only installed a Subversion
client on tigris.org, but wrote a new servlet to drive it, which
allows us to control when the live site gets updated.
The CVS tree is now completely obsolete, and maintaining the web pages
will be much easier from now on. Thank you, Jason!
