Cool.  I'll need to set you up with a kerberos/ldap account on our
systems.  Your old home directory seems to sill be there (uid: edhill),
but can you send me an initial password encrypted to my gpg key
(or alternatively, send me your gpg/pgp key and I'll just create
the password and send it to you encrypted).  Also, you might
consider joining the "sys" and "hosting" trilug mailing lists.
The sys list is for people who have sudo access on the trilug machines
and the hosting list is what we originally had started for setting
up projects like this a while back.

I'd be happy to help with the rpms, and I'd like to learn more
about the admin and maintenance of gforge, but I think I've got
too much on my plate right now to commit completely to everything
else.  You might find several volunteers on the hosting list,
though, since they had originally expressed interest in getting
things like this running.

Thanks very much!

Tanner
