cvs isn't that hard, and there is this page: <http://www.debian.org/devel/website/using_cvs> linked from the desc page. Yes, it seems to be a little bit burried but people working on the website should read the description page throughly anyway .) > Since I am new to this, I'll start by making fixes to the code > that may seem inconsequential, but would make any move to xhtml > much easier.

Sounds cool to me. I haven't used much stylesheets myself yet but start to really like them. Especially you can make nifty things to input fields and such. But keep in mind that it is not the best idea to rely _only_ on stylesheets for the design, there are still browsers widely used that doesn't support them well, if at all (like, netscape4 or even textmode webbrowsers).
