Sorry - I'm mostly offline at the moment and check discuss less than
webmasters.  Ask support at oxymium.net (www.gnustep.org's host) whether
they can set up a MySQL database for it and ask on the webmaster list
for CVS access to the GNUstep pages repo (I hope we're still using CVS,
at least... it's nowhere near as complex as the main sources, file
moves need special handling anyway and my tools aren't set for svn).
If you need more help, I should be available again 13 May and would be
interested in working on this.

Hope that helps,
