Don't be surprised if you see 0 CVS commits listed there, sf.net is very slow... the sources are there in the repo.
At the present time the sources do NOT build out of the box, as some makefile(s) are missing. That said, they are entirely C and used to build with SAS/C.
The NewsRog Open Source team is currently formed by Jens Langner and myself. Jens is the only programmer, and since his plate is quite full already, we need help from other evelopers to first make the project build and then convert it to GCC.
