Dave, you've hit on my hot button issue!
I've started to pull together stuff like CVS resources into pages on the new openacs site, which may or may not go live in the near future. At the very least everything will be in one place.
Current CVS docs:
http://openacs.museatech.net/oacs-doc/cvs_doc/
I did a quick bboard search and trolled through the file repository. Have I missed any documentation?
