[Verse-dev] development using CVS

Hello,

i have a proposal for the verse development: why not storing the code on 
a cvs server?
The code is not that big by now, so it is no problem to download the 
full version when something changed. However it would be a lot simpler 
to get code changes via cvs than always downloading a new .zip.
And you have more advantages, like a version control or that you can see 
what was changed. It helps finding bugs also. The code is open source 
anyway so no one has any disadvantages here.
Just developing a new version only on the own computer and releasing 
them from time to time isn't that helpful for a common development or 
usage. E.g. the users have to check their programs again to find bugs 
(either in the server or their apps), it would be a lot easier if you 
could track down which change lead to a bug, changes would occour in 
smaller steps. This can only be found out with version control systems 
like cvs. And finally it doesn't cost anything - you get an sourceforge 
project for free, with the addition of more security for your data - 
backups and the like.

Any comments?
