If you plan on contributing code to the project, then you will need an account on the CVS server. Miguel de Icaza ( miguel@nuclecu.unam.mx) determines who gets accounts on the CVS server; if you would like one, then send him a message detailing what code you plan on writing, along with with a crypted password. You can get that by doing the following:
perl -e 'print crypt ("YourPassword", "salt");'
Where the "salt" string preferably should be a random 2-char string.
