Re: Making GNOME CVS more usable

[Seth Nickell <snickell stanford edu>]

I have embarked on a similar undertaking related to a project I am
working on, actually. Thus far we have added short descriptions of
almost all the CVS modules, and I have started adding dependency lists.
Currently I am doing this as a single XML file, but it would be trivial
to write a little program to split it into a file per module or whatever
the desirable formats were deemed to be.

You're more than welcome to join me, its a long and fairly repetitive
task so I would welcome the company ;-) I'm usually on irc.gnome.org on
#interface as "herring" or "seth".
