Subject: OASIS PLCS TC: Support for CVS server.
Please find attached the thread related our request to OASIS for CVS support
(action 1/4). In summary, yes but not for a few months.
I would therefore suggest that we keep the current arrangement on SourceForge until
such time as the OASIS server comes online. It may also be appropriate to take a
backup copy onto SC4ONLINE.
Any thoughts?

Howard, Joseph:
I think that we can do this, but not right now. Setting up a CVS server
will require some additional equipment (and rack space and power, etc.)
that we don't have right now but will be including in our 2004 budget.
How urgent is this? Is the immediate need for access to the information
or for storage of the data that would otherwise be lost? (or is it
something else?)
If it's just storage we could probably find a way to archive the files
until such time as we can get a CVS server online, but if the immediate
need is for access to the information then we won't be able to provide
that for a few months.
