 The FOSS4G2008 team (and shortly the 2009 team) are using the Open
 Conference System (OCS) (from: http://pkp.sfu.ca/ocs ) for their
 conference web site.  They need a way to access the code and db for
 upgrading it, improving it, etc.

 I installed it for them on osgeo1 a while ago and it's accessible at
 http://conference.osgeo.org.  I thought about trying to handle file-level
 updates via SVN (like we do with website themes and a cgi script) but it's
 getting too complicated for me to think through.  It also uses a mysql db.

 Can someone offer some ideas on how to help make this work for them?  If
 we could give shell access to one of them it might really help.  They
 really only need access to one part of the www file tree and one db - so
 conceivably they wouldn't need anything near sudo rights at all.  I'm
 marking it major only because the conference site is in full use now and
 will be increasingly important in the upcoming days, weeks, months.
