For anyone who picks this up, a few possible ideas for expansion might be:

• History - When was it started? Why was it started?
• People - Who are the people involved in the project?
• Where is it used, and how widespread is it? ( Sourceforge might be the largest entity using it)
• Language - Why was python used, over any other language (the ViewCVS web page has a fairly negative quote regarding perl)
• Details of the two main components: the repository viewer and the commit database.
• Compare and contrast with CvsWeb, a similar tool
• Compare and contrast with command line CVS tools
