I'll go out on a limb here and give my two cents on the matter.  It would
seem to me that it would be best to put some sort of hierarchy in place on
the CVS server(s).  At the least, put modules under something like
"fedora-docs".  That would at least eliminate the possibility of collisions
with the software folks on the project's CVS box.

As for eliminating collisions between separate docs projects, the most
obvious solution is just to have everyone use the same interim CVS
server... :-)
