CGI Workshop
Hello, I'm thinking about reviving a ‘workshop’ I had a while back because of a recent post I found here. The foundation is already set up, and I would like to see how many people are interested. This workshop is for CGI scripts mainly PHP and Perl, but PHP takes precedence over Perl. Everything is Open Source (under GPL) and on CVS.
Any feedback is appreciated.

I forgot to mention:
Currently the name is COSF, the CGI open source F________. The ‘F’ used to stand for foundry but I changed it to Federation, but that doesn’t sound right either. I changed from foundry because I was/still am a SourceForge Perl Foundry admin, but the SF development crew forgot about the foundries and left us.
I started with Perl and switched to PHP. If you are unfamiliar with CVS, I’ll have a tutorial set up shortly.

Facilitator? Factory? Farce?
Cool.. a CVS tut. I've wanted to learn that, but never found anything good. I'd find it very helpfull to have info on using both a windows and *nix CVS client. (and any software recommended)

An active project from old COSF was usermanage, here is a summary from the UserManage site:
User Manage is a compact suite which can easily be used in any PHP script. We modeled it like a puzzle: there is the "core" that handles basic authentication, and then there are other modules that handle utility functions like database handler that help top-level functions like permissions handler. It is designed so that developers can build applications with standard user authentication, and any extra user functions already complete with drop in modules.
Of course any projects will be based on the amount of interest from the group.

I've started the tut, and you can see it's progress at http://cosf.sourceforge.net (you don't have to be a member to view the doc). Now, I just need some feedback on any spelling errors, missing information, or areas that I need to extend.

Currently, this is only for Windows, but you should be able to use *nix clients from what you learn.

How about more background on what CVS is. Some questions I've had are:
o Can two people checkout a copy?
o What happens if person A and B checkout a project, both make changes, then try to commit their changes? Will the changes by the first person be lost?
o How often should you commit your changes?
o Are there other comon practices a newbie should be aware of?
