Thanks for your comments; we were all too familiar with Sourceforge before
working in Savannah, so we became used to its interface and need feedback from
new users to let us know what's not as obvious as we think.

I have changed "Status" and made a link "Why log in?" as you suggested. Please
note that this Log-in is independent from CVS access as I've tried to
explaine in "Why log in?". To make it easier to find the instructions for CVS
access, I've put another link on the left menu bar, under the project's name
("Sourcecode CVS"); you can see it for example in
  http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/emacs

Please let us know if you think it is still not helpful or it can be
improved.
