Seems like I'm too stupid to see what's obvious to you. The following
open source projects have public developer version:

OpenOffice
http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/source/643c/source.html#getsource
GCC        http://gcc.gnu.org/cvs.html
KDE        http://developer.kde.org/build/compile_cvs.html
Gnome      http://developer.gnome.org/tools/cvs.html
FreeBSD    http://www.freebsd.org/support.html#cvs
Linux      http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.5/
Xfree      http://www.xfree86.org/cvs/
Mozilla    http://www.mozilla.org/cvs.html
Apache     http://www.apache.org/foundation/cvs.html
Darwin     http://developer.apple.com/darwin/tools/cvs/
Blender    http://projects.blender.org/cvsx/?group_id=9
Wings3d    http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=33028

Why does it work for them but not for you?

Thomas
