Hi all,
we are in the middle of a server switch for arkilinux.org. while at it
we've considered the opportunity to clean-up, fix, make things better
and so on.

The most important change for the web developers is that we've moved
all the www stuff (www.arklinux.org and wwwdevel.arklinux.org) into
a single cvs module, called "www".

as usual:
export CVSROOT=:pserver:<username>@cvs.arklinux.org:/cvs/arkwww

then:
cvs co www
will checkout the _devel_ stuff. it's corresponding to the HEAD branch
into our CVS repository.

cvs co -r LIVE
will checkout the _stable_ branch, the one on www.arklinux.org

this allows us to:
- commit changes, small fixes, whatever on both branches
- do a huge switch to a completely new www site by simply moving
  the LIVE tag.

the sync between CVS and www/wwwdevel is already in place and should work
correctly. just wait for the DNS change to propagate if you keep seeing
the old site on www or wwwdevel.

questions and opinions are welcome, as usual.

thanks to all the www developers,
sergio
