No, it was Daniel Lin <linpct at gmail.com> that set up there. He has
contacted me and asked me for approve to copy all of MATE from
Marcuscom CVS as he liked my port better than his. My current
repository is at
http://www.marcuscom.com:8080/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/ports-experimental/
and I plan to copy over to my github account.

Do it in github is probably best thing to do since it's public. You
can even add people in your list to allow them commit and etc. Add
kwm@ in CC to see if it's okay with him about github too.

See my #2 answer. Addition here, when it's done then submit a PR with
link of patch for portmgr to test it in the pointyhat-exp before one
of us commit it.

I don't know much about Wiki stuff, but I think you should be able to
click on 'Create new empty page' or something like that if I remember
it correct?

Cheers,
