I know, my heart is sinking too. But I think it's worth doing. I was 
thinking that we might have a single page with two sections:

Checking out code as a user

Checking out code as a contributor

The page could live at the current get.xml location, and TCW 6 might 
then be retired. We have contributors who are not on Council, and I 
don't really think that the instructions for contributors should be 
different depending on whether they're on Council or not, so one page 
outside the Council area would presumably be sufficient.

We also need to look at the status of the other projects listed on that 
page. Sebastian has already said that we can remove tei-emacs from 
documentation like this. It looks to me as though TEI-OO is now obsolete 
as well; Sebastian has written good working ODT converters (no longer 
specific to Open Office), and has completed the "plans for some filters 
for Microsoft Word". Shall we just remove that one?

Cheers,
Martin
