If we can get a snapshot of the CVS repo, then I think we can do this. It
will take a long time, but I think it's worth it. The cvs2svn script will
let us read from the CVS repo files and import into a (possibly remote
repo), so I think it's feasible, assuming collab.net can get things set up
for us on the server in terms of SVN support.

Again, if we can get the repo snapshot, it won' t be a problem at all
hosting that somewhere else. I can provide an SVN repo via my dreamhost
account, which has oodles of disk and network allowances, or we can put the
repo on jsftemplating.org. Either way works. We'll have to figure out how
to handle permissions, password changes, etc., but I think it's feasible.

I ran the CVS to SVN conversion for IEC a couple of years ago.

I'm willing to at least help out, if not handle the whole thing, depending
on the response of others. :)
