>If you plan on contributing code to the project, then you
      will need an account on the CVS server. Miguel de Icaza (<A

>      miguel@nuclecu.unam.mx</A
>) determines who gets accounts on
      the CVS server; if you would like one, then send him a message
      detailing what code you plan on writing, along with with a
      crypted password. You can get that by doing the
      following:</P

><TT
CLASS="USERINPUT"

>perl -e 'print crypt ("YourPassword",
      "salt");'</B
></TT

>Where the "salt" string preferably should be a random
      2-char string.</P
