The website as a whole is rather large, although it is now a heck of a lot smaller after I did some major house cleaning in the last month. These spring to mind: res/ snapshots/ I'm interested in what you say about putting the website in CVS as it should make it easier for developers, who use CVS all the time. But if I'm uploading / editing files on the webserver how is CVS going to remain synced with my newest changes? I'd rather not use CVS myself just for the website, when I mess up a single character I just ssh onto the webserver and use vi to change it. Also when something is being considered I like to test it / play with and update a page repeatedly while hitting the refresh button. I tweak the page like this because many pages have their headers / footers / style sheets added on the server via PHP, and so look very different when they are actually served up. When it's right I .tar.gz and download it, to sync my local copy up with the active copy. All very useful. I'm not a CVS expert so I don't know if you can keep all this functionality alive.
