But search engines will not like them :) (php.net has a pagerank of 10, so our subdomain will also have a good PR :D) I prefer using paths, but lets listen others' opinion. > > Other thing: > > To the RFC, TODO list, and in the future an on-line editing feature (that > > could be based on my project :-), I was thinking in using the php.net magic > > cookie to authenticate users.

The bad part is that we need a copy of the passwords of devellopers. AFAIK, this is done by getting the /fetch/cvspasswd.php on the master server. But we need the password :) Of course they will not give us the password, so.... Gabor, me idea was: you talk with systems@ and ask for the password. Then you would fetch the usernames/passwords to your pc. Then you would import them to a sqlite DB and upload it to the server. That table would have also the name, country, etc.. for each cvs account. Nuno
