It's a qmail .alias file. I can add you by hand if you like (or if you want to set up a read-only mailing list for it that would be fine too). There is a tcl script to insert into a forum but it does not do notifications so it's not optimal.

Great idea Jeff!

I've set up a list at willfork.com. So if you forward all
the traffic to mailto:openacs-cvs-list@willfork.com everybody who
bothers to register here will get it as well:

The xml chokes my favourite OSX dockling rss reader... I'll try to find what the problem is (it's probably with my software).

Branimir, I set up the forward to go to the willfork address. next commit let me know if it worked.

Mark, the feed validates as rss 1.0, and I have not had trouble with netnewswire. Now that rss 2.0 is in rss support maybe I will add that as well, I expect that would fix any remaining problems.

Jeff,

could you make the CVS RSS code available in contrib perhaps? Would be useful for other projects as well.

Yes, it is working. Thanks...

... but now that I've seen those emails I realized that this mechanism doesn't include diffs.

So, the next piece of work I'd like to volonteer is to enable sending of diffs in the body of the email via the CVSROOT/loginfo mechanism. These Python scripts from our friends at Zope.org have been working for us very well for years: http://dev.zope.org/DevHome/CVS/CVSAddons
