Well, its not necessarily private. If we (eventually?) open up CVS to the
pubic we should have the tools available to let them build the SSC
directly from a CVS checkout. Surely the tools in "private" would be
needed to do this? Or am I misinterpreting Norman's original point...
...err, what was the original point again? *scratch head*
Al.
PS. I think we've all been spending too much time talking to the IVOA
folks, this conversation is getting squirrely... ;)
