 Fine :-)

 I did not set a password on the tower user on Savannah. The database fields
are set in such a way that you can only login using your kerberos password.
Once you login for the first time, Savannah will store the encrypted version
of your kerberos password (after checking that it indeed is your kerberos
password, of course). Then you can change it to whatever you like.
 Of course I could set a random password if you don't want to use your
kerberos password on Savannah.

 All files changed by anyone. In the past two days:

M events.html
M events.html.bak
M server/new-software.html

 that is nobody did any manual change. As I said it's a reasonable overhead
and if you don't want to deal with potential conflicts, I'll do it until
I find a better solution.

 I'll do this when it's really working. The current solution is fine because
you're the only one but I think it'll be a nightmare if more than one guy
tries to do the same.
