Hamish,
This is a concern I had as well for people like myself who are starting to
get their feet wet submitting new scripts to the add-ons section. The WIKI
method is easy to contribute now, but I had a hell of a time trying to get
cvs configured properly - and eventually gave up as it became an enormous
time vaccuum. Probably attributable to user error, but certainly not what I
would call 'easy'.
Would this new, proposed method of submitting code require the use of
CVS-compiled Grass in order to contribute? I hope not - I'm pretty loathe to
start mucking around with installation now that I've finally got everything
on Ubuntu running smoothly.

The nice thing about the Wiki is the low barrier to entry to anyone.
Can submitters to the new repo be given rights to their own dir or do
they need general write permission on everything at Intevation's CVS?

Eric,
would you mind to summarize the problems? Then we can check
how to simplify it if possible.

It depends in any case: if the contribution uses a new
feature of GRASS-CVS, then even a Wiki contribution would need it.
I hope not - I'm pretty loathe to
start mucking around with installation now that I've finally got everything
on Ubuntu running smoothly.
Please elaborate...
Markus
