It indeed doesn't!!

I for one infact managed to get the Macintosh based cvs software, managed to install it, and even getting "somehow" familiar with the 
basic commands. Then I got my password and *even* managed to access the site's directories, yet - standing on the threshold - 
couldn't do any step further, i.e. to open and download any of the files there (e.g. Alis, NT). After having tried every now and then 
for a couple of weeks, I finally had to give in spending my precious free hours for that stuff :(( what I regret. Now finally, I had 
decided to throw the cvs browser in the basket...
I'd really had liked to stick to commonly known and used "technologies" like the http-format in order to create a platform for 
everyone interested. This really seems to be the open wiki software - already established!! - but rarely used. It is baby-easy to 
handle! Maybe too easy for freaks?
