There are different development branches in Semi-gnusae.

t-gnus-6.13 (T-gnus)
  Public branch for Semi-gnus people.
  It is based on Pterodactyl Gnus (possibly Gnus 5.8).

keiich (Nana-gnus)
  Suzuki Keiich's personal branch. Based on Gnus 5.6.45.

chaos-1_13 (Chaos)
  Tomo's personal branch. Based on Gnus 5.6.45.

These are available from the chamonix open CVS server:

% cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@chamonix.jaist.ac.jp:/hare/cvs/root login

CVS password: [CR] # NULL string

% cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@chamonix.jaist.ac.jp:/hare/cvs/root \
	checkout -r t-gnus-6_13 gnus

Uh..., it is very hard for me to explain more about them in English.
Could anyone take on it?
