SCAN-CVS bridge

Hi guys.

Bob Hartwig raised the question of where to put the RB port for Squeak -
as Ralph Johnson proposed, putting projects on SourceForge (basically, a
hosted CVS with web front end) would raise Smalltalks visibility. In
this case, Squeak's too. This is good.

OTOH, I like having the project in a Squeak based repository. SCAN is
very nice, and being Squeak, we can make it better.

I was thinking maybe we can have SCAN use the work being done on the CVS
protocols to update a SourceForge site as a mirror.

Does someone know CVS enough to see why this is a really stupid idea, or
very simple to do?

If anyone wants to work on this, I'll start working on getting the code
under one license approved by all contributors (a SourceForge
requirement, apparently).

Daniel
