Downloading Cheshire3 from CVS / SVN

Our CVS/SVN server is:

:pserver:cvs.cheshire3.org:/cvsroot/cheshire3
http://cvs.cheshire3.org/repos

The 'cheshire3' folder should have the latest updates to the source code, and basic object configurations, but please be aware these may not be stable.

There is also bleeding edge code, and configs for a growing number of extension modules, sample databases and applications within the 'contrib' folder.

If you are interested in contributing bug fixes, extensions, or applications via CVS/SVN, please make contact via the Cheshire3 discussion forum.
