for instance I've never managed to get CVS working under windows.
That shouldn't be so difficult .. you might try TortoiseCVS, it integrates with Windows Explorer, and I've heard a lot of positive things about it. (I'm on Linux ..) http://sourceforge.net/projects/tortoisecvs/ Sourceforge has instructions about CVS in general: http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=14033&group_id=1
I have had a rake about on sourceforge and freshmeat for Zope 'abandonware',
If I may suggest one: http://dev.zope.org/Members/tanepiper/ZMusicBase It's last been touched on 2001/05/14 and never went anywhere. I've been wanting a way to list and search my mp3's and ogg's in a flexible way .. I strongly recommend you look at http://dev.zope.org/Members/maxm/ for pointers as to how to structure a product properly. He has good examples. -- Jean Jordaan http://www.upfrontsystems.co.za
