Any item listed as:

Maintainer: No one.

Means that nobody has offered to "own" it.  Feel free to make an offer.
:-)  Hopefully everything will be owned soon.  

Remember it's just a draft, so feel free to chew it apart.

For sanity's sake, I've put the file under RCS (I'm still not familar
enough with CVS to play with that) so be sure to:

co -l project.html

to get a workable copy and then to:

ci -u project.hml

to check it back in for the next person.

Speaking of which, does anyone have any multi-user source control
experiance over remote systems?  I see three options:

1) Some kind of web based CVS system.  I know they are out there, but I
haven't been able to find anything useful and easy to use.  Should allow
minimally to checkin, checkout, and get history logs.  Diffs would be also
nice.  

2) NFS.  Obviously there are security and performance issues associated
with this, not to mention the issue of sync'ing UID/GID on systems.  But
it would be really easy to use.

3) Someone is smarter than me and has another idea.

Due to the fact that every page, form, CGI, DB, etc interacts with so much
and no one person is going to be able to control all aspects of a single
project, we're going to need something to prevent people from stepping on
each others toes and manage the history of changes to aid with bug fixing.
