For the new system, I would like to step up, but I really (really) have no
clue what you are talking about... I don't know what svnpubsub or CMS are.
There is a pointer in Ted's answer to your other message. I'll read through
the doc, and if I feel not too incompetent, I will try it on CM if you want.

Have a good day,
Sébastien
