As for our own home page, I'm working on that.  I have some space on
nl.linux.org, and I'm going to talk to Riel about getting some stuff
running from there (and maybe plunking down the $70 or so for
www.plex86.org, since the lease to the name has expired--at least as far
as I can tell it has)  As for the CVS, as I said earier, it needs some
work--that is one of about 35 major issues with it that I have been
working on since I took over the project.

Yes, but the site was based on an out-of date SQL database--which I didn't
have the needed permissions to do a full dump of.  BIG PROBLEM, but only
if you wanted to restore the original site.  I'll talk to Kevin Lawton
about getting a copy of the database, as it lives in his user space on
that server.

This is not to say that the documentation on the www.plex86.org site was
all that useful at this point.  I've been going through the code,
re-blocking it (and sometimes re-arranging it outright) such that I can go
through and add some clean comments to it.  There are over 25,000 lines of
code to play in--so this is going to take a while.  If people want to
comment lines in the plugins, and then send in those diffs so that Eric or
I can get them into the CVS I would really appreciate it.
