Hi,

"temporary storage" aren't the good words, I'm actually starting an application for "Fedora Usability" called "fusability". It's like bug-buddy but allow to produce usability repports. Yes actually I can host this on a my web access because it's not usable.

Bugzilla allow to conserve patchs or other? I don't think that it's the best solution but now that can be acceptable because the Usability Sigs has an existance of 2 weeks.

The "Usability packages" is a good idea, We can produce "unofficial" packages for testing the application  massively...

I'm agree with you, cvs is not essential actually because usability is too young but that can be good for a efficient and productive work. Send the sources by mail etc... is not really great.

CVS isn't for temporary storage.  You need to work with other projects to keep
things where they belong.  Documentation should be kept in packages, with the
Documentation Project, or on the wiki.  Patches should be provided through
Bugzilla to appropriate maintainers or directly to upstream.  Efficiency is
achieved through collaboration and management, not version control.

Unless the Usability SIG starts producing stand-alone packages, and I don't
see any reason that it ever should, I can't imagine why it would have any
real need for its own CVS repository.
