+ !! Obtaining a CVS account
+ You need a CVS account in order to access the files in any of the CVS repositories. You can get one for read-only access by simply sending an email request to pmc@ecoinformatics.org. Include in your request the following information:
+ *Full name
+ *Email address
+ *Institution
+ *Which projects are you interested in
+
+
+ !! Choosing a CVS client application
+ CVS client applications are available for Linux, Windows, MacOS, and other systems. Here is a list of commonly used CVS clients and Integrated Development Environments that support CVS.
+ *Windows: [TortoiseCVS|http://tortoisecvs.org], [Eclipse|http://eclipse.org], [WinCVS|http://wincvs.org]
+ *Linux: cvs command line, [Eclipse|http://eclipse.org]
+ *MacOS: cvs command line
+
+ !! CVS configuration details
+ Once you have a client program installed, you'll need to configure it to connect. We only permit connections that communicate over the SSH protocol version 2, so you'll need to have a recent SSH client installed and configured. Under linux, this is usually provided in the 'openssh' package, which also can be obtained under Windows using Cygwin.
+
+ For most clients, you will need the following configuration information:
+ *CVSROOT=:ext:username@cvs.ecoinformatics.org:/cvs
+ *CVS_RSH=ssh
+ *module=seek (or kepler or others depending on interest)
