Well I hope you're doing fun stuff. I'm more than glad to help out.

Excellent. Let me know when this is available.

I do not have CVS access yet. I will send you my crypt in another
private email.

SourceForge's implementation of Trove is in PHP. It should be fairly
easy to add to the current site. However, tying Gnotices in with Trove
may take a little extra work. I'd still like to ditch the current setup
and go with something else (perhaps something without comments...IMHO
opinions and bug reports belong on gnome-list rather than lost in a
weblog. It would also kill the troll problem.).

Definitely. I will hack up a script of something if I can get a database
dump.
