mention instructions for setting up WinCVS… I recommend similar instructions should be there for SmartCVS an excellent (some would say superior) Java-based CVS client.

If you are at http://games.dev.java.net/ and you click on the “Discussion Forums” link in the side menus it says there are no forums set up (it looks like the link doesn’t go to here, but tries to use the java.net forums). the link tries to go to http://games.dev.java.net/servlets/ProjectForumView

I’m not sure if it’s really needed since this info is on the project pages, but there is some room for people to fill in what projects they are involved with at http://wiki.java.net/bin/view/Games/WhosWho
If you are working on one of the gaming core APIs (JOGL, JOAL, JInput) let us know who you are and what you are working on. JBanes can put his info under GAGE etc.
David could add an entry for Xith3D

These instructions are generated by the CollabNet software, so we don’t really have control over the content. I’ll pass the suggestion on to them though.

Unfortunately, this is also a CollabNet issue. We’ve been trying to get this resolved, but without any luck so far. Our hope is that the next rev of the java.net software will be a little more flexible.

If we’re going to talk about CVS clients. For windows you can’t really beat TortoiseCVS for integration. It makes windows explorer into a source repository browser…
