It's currently not installed.  But I hope the cl.netters don't mind to
install it.  I did a local install there and also installed the cgi
script (well, server-side include) under
http://common-lisp.net/project/slime/hgweb.shtml.  I think it doesn't
need any other upgrades.  

I think hg has some hooks to send emails after a commit, so we would
send that to the slime-cvs mailing list.  I haven't tried it, though.
The script for the daily changelog summary would probably need some
adjustments.

It would be nice to have a CVS mirror of the Mercurial repository (so
that non-committers wouldn't notice the switch) but I couldn't find an
simple solution to that.

Helmut.
