Since only the aD internal developers are using perforce to commit
anyway, seems to me all that's needed is a gateway that mirrors
from aD's perforce to something that loads it into cvs (one-way)
so that people interested don't need to wait for major releases to see what's going on.
Perforce licensing is free for open source projects anyway.

Are there any technical problems with OpenACS setting up such a gateway, or policy problems with read only access from aD?
If no such problems, not much point discussing the merits of the decision rather than just setting up the mirror/gateway.
