OpenSource

Opensource project. Acidsun.com (server is down at the moment 1/5/02 at 11:20 est) the whole site will become opensource. Looking for web designers such as graphic designers and php programmers to help with project.

Also, I would love to put the project on sourceforge but I do not know how CVS really works (like commands for uploading and whatever). I know it uses SSH1 (I think its 1). But can someone explain what CVS is really for besides security.

DESCRIPTION
CVS is a version control system, which allows you to keep
old versions of files (usually source code), keep a log of
who, when, and why changes occurred, etc., like RCS or
SCCS. Unlike the simpler systems, CVS does not just oper­
ate on one file at a time or one directory at a time, but
operates on hierarchical collections of directories con­
sisting of version controlled files. CVS helps to manage
releases and to control the concurrent editing of source
files among multiple authors. CVS allows triggers to
enable/log/control various operations and works well over
a wide area network.
