It's a lot of effort to set up. There is a bunch of automation that you
can do initially that makes it not too bad to maintain, though, apart from
the increasing number of questions about unstable sources.
Setting up read-only CVS access and setting up some loginfo scripts so
that all CVS commit messages result in an e-mail message (and ideally
point to CVSweb diffs) really does wonders towards letting people feel
like they know what's happening behind the scenes.
