<i>&gt; I'm not too familiar with CVS myself, but I'm willing to learn.</i><br>
<p>
You can have a look at<br>
&lt;URL:<a href="http://www.loria.fr/~molli/cvs/cvs-tut/cvs_tutorial_toc.html">http://www.loria.fr/~molli/cvs/cvs-tut/cvs_tutorial_toc.html</a>&gt; to<br>

<i>&gt; I wouldn't mind injecting my work on the Coolscan Backend into CVS.</i><br>
<i>&gt; It needs some changes to sane.h and I was wondering what I have to</i><br>
<i>&gt; do to get them accepted and included.</i><br>
<p>
Well, the CVS server will not solve that problem. All API changes<br>
must still be agreed upon before changes are made. The only thing CVS <br>
does it making the change available when it is done.<br>

<i>&gt; Does someone have the TIME to do the thankless donkey-work required</i><br>
<i>&gt; for Release Early and Often on a big project like SANE?</i><br>
<p>
I beleave a CVS repository with write access to all maintainers would<br>
make it easy to release often. Anyone can do 'make dist' at any time<br>
to generate a distribution and upload it to the ftp site.<br>
<p>
Some projects have 'release-masters' to do this job. Once in a while,<br>
one must have code freeze to make a proper release, but most bugs<br>
should already be fixed because of the tested snapshot releases.<br>
<p>
David should not have to do all the work. When he has little time to<br>
spare, it creates a bottle-neck in the development process.<br>
