I'm not sure what you mean here. If you cvs commit on the webserver, the only bandwidth you need is for the I/O on your terminal. The CVS protocol traffic is only between the machine you are logged in on and the machine the CVS repository is on, both sf.net. And even if you commit directly from your own machine, CVS doesn't take a lot of bandwidth, very likely less than downloading the website as a tarball. > > Ideally though, you'd only make changes in your private checkout, commit > > when you're done and then bring the public site up to date with cvs up > > (which we might be able to automate somehow). > Tie updating the website to the commit?

Sounds good to me, we can always add more later. So we create a module called website or whatever containing a doc directory?
