I'm mirroring the gnome cvs to my server via rsync to my machine 4
times per day so I can do the snapshot at ftp.jimpick.com/pub/gnome/snap .

I'm not willing to run anoncvs on my machine for Gnome (after seeing
what it did to the debian.org machine) - but I could act as an
exploder for others to run anoncvs if anybody else is
interested... (and Elliot/the developers agree that this is a good idea)

Cheers,
