Yeah, I reversed myself in another post not one minute later, which you
are probably reading right now.  I agree with your reasoning, and now
that I see how it works, great!

Can you and Paul work on the details for the following, then create a
window to do it in to keep from having merge/sync problems?

* Move everything in fedora-docs up one level and make them separate
modules
* Leave the common files where they are
* Make the changes to CVSROOT/modules so that checking out a module
makes sure you get the common modules (xsl/, common/, css/, etc.)

Tell me how to grant you two the permissions you need to make this
happen.  I'd like you both to help with CVS maintenace, s'il vous plait.

cheers - Karsten
