* Do we have to rely on collabnet / java.net
to do all the work for
us? Or can we run the conversion ourself after they setup the
respository (or something like that).
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.
*
If it can't be done on java.net, is it
possible to run the
conversion ourselves and host it somewhere else?
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.
*
Anyone have experience with this or have suggestions on the best
way to proceed?
I ran the CVS to SVN conversion for IEC a couple of years ago.

Anyone want to volunteer to lead this?
