I presumed that those people who have admin rights to the KDE servers are 
talking to each other about planned changes, which doesn't seem to be the 
case.

Another problem is that the kde-www list was never informed about the 
moving date, so no one was able to respond apart from the people who also 
happen to read kde-core-devel.

I don't have web server administration rights, and most webmasters don't 
have them either. All we could do is discuss the topic on the kde-www 
list. But is seem that the web server admins aren't reading that list, so 
our questions were left unanswered.

OK, fine.

Sounds reasonable.

The modules developer.kde.org and bugs would need to be included, too.

If we want to keep the script SVN->CVS simple, then it would be easiest to 
deal with the subdomain repository moves at the same point of time when 
the webserver configuration changes.

Can you set it up, or would someone else need to do it? I am neither 
familiar enough with svn, nor do I have the necessary admin rights.
