I'll most likely get around to tarring this up tonight.

Ok, please send this to cvsmaster gnome org and root gnome org instead,
to get access both to the GNOME web server, and to GNOME CVS. This will
take a little time to get, in my experience, so even though you might
not need it quite yet, it's a good idea to send the mails now.

Focus on Trove for the software map for now. A decision needs to be made
on Gnotices' future, but that relies on a lot more people than just us.

You can dump this yourself as soon as you get the accounts needed.
