any idea how can we provide a directory structure at Gforge which  
complies with the requirements of MOGUL?

Hm, I don't recall reading anything about this in the MOGUL doc.. As  
I said, I am completely new to MOGUL. The doc appears to suggest that  
one first gets a MOGUL id and then sets things up doing

ozmake --config=put --mogulrootid=$MOGULID
ozmake --config=put --moguldir=$MOGULDIR
ozmake --config=put --mogulurl=$MOGULURL

see http://www.mozart-oz.org/mogul/node11.html#sec.own.section.new

Anyway, it appears we should first figure out what our public URL  
could be, and how we can access the data there. If we need to call  
ozmake in that directory, than we need to install Mozart on the  
machine in question and we would need a ssh access or something similar.

Any comments?

Thank you!

Best
Torsten
