2) Import the XFree86.org CVS tree into a repository on freedesktop.org. I would appreciate help on this, but I could get to it within a few weeks if it hasn't been done by then.
Anyone with a recent CVS mirror of XFree86 can do this. It would be best if someone working within the new repository was responsible as there will need to be some level of on-going CVS tracking for security and other critical fixes appearing in XFree86 CVS.
XFree86 offers cvsup access from their public mirror; that makes it very easy to snag a copy:
http://www.xfree86.org/cvs/#cvsup
has instructions.
Then we need to figure out what the project name should be (names are always hard). Perhaps we can just use cygwinx or some such for now.
3) Get Cygwin/X developers accounts on freedesktop.org (I would like Kensuke Matsuzaki and Alexander Gottwald, at a minimum, to have accounts). I would like them to commit their patches directly so that I don't hold up their development. As long as the tree builds, I can make then make quick releases of their work.
We just need SSH keys to create accounts; have them send preferred login names and the public half of their SSH keys along to me.
