How about more background on what CVS is. Some questions I've had are:

o Can two people checkout a copy?

o What happens if person A and B checkout a project, both make changes, then try to commit their changes? Will the changes by the first person be lost?

o How often should you commit your changes?

o Are there other comon practices a newbie should be aware of?

Currently, this is only for Windows, but you should be able to use *nix clients from what you learn.

I've started the tut, and you can see it's progress at http://cosf.sourceforge.net (you don't have to be a member to view the doc). Now, I just need some feedback on any spelling errors, missing information, or areas that I need to extend.

The website is at http://cosf.sourceforge.net, and any feedback would be appreciated.

I'm very interested in that one.

An active project from old COSF was usermanage, here is a summary from the UserManage site:

User Manage is a compact suite which can easily be used in any PHP script. We modeled it like a puzzle: there is the "core" that handles basic authentication, and then there are other modules that handle utility functions like database handler that help top-level functions like permissions handler. It is designed so that developers can build applications with standard user authentication, and any extra user functions already complete with drop in modules.

Of course any projects will be based on the amount of interest from the group.

Facilitator? Factory? Farce?

Cool.. a CVS tut. I've wanted to learn that, but never found anything good. I'd find it very helpfull to have info on using both a windows and *nix CVS client. (and any software recommended)
