So sorry about that. I asked around and Tom will install a script on
sources to make sure we get fresh snapshots up again. (Thanks Tom!)

We really need to update the website.
If someone wants to then they can get the website files with:
cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@sources.redhat.com:/cvs/mauve checkout htdocs

BTW see http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/?cvsroot=mauve for
other modules like verify and "wonka" (the visual test engine).

It isn't really Red Hat not doing things. They are just hosting the
project. Like sourceforge or savnnah would do. We need people to
actually work on the pages (and complain loudly on the mailing list) to
make the project seem less dead. (And thanks again for yelling and
screaming, we have been a bit neglecting the appearance of the project.)

CCed. But please join the list!

Cheers,

Mark
