7621bec9f3 Add instructions on creating an OpenPGP key. Also add a checkkey.sh 
script that can be used to test keys for minimal security requirements.
A long list of people helped with this.  In particular, Michael Lucas
and David Wolfskill contributed many corrections and suggestions.  I
started the script based on the addkey.sh script, and David Wolfskill
worked it into something usable.  After more testing, the text can
suggest using it to check keys before committing them.

1d9bea10ed Merge the projects/entities branch into head/ 
The primary purposes are to clean up duplicated author definitions in
both share/xml/authors.ent and share/xml/developers.ent, and as a added
bonus simplify writing up author names/email addresses in web pages.

Apart from merging developers.ent into authors.ent, removing the former,
and updating the Committers Guide there should be little user-visible changes:
- a.portmgr renamed to a.portmgr.members
- a.doceng renamed to a.doceng.members
- team.re renamed to a.re.members.email and moved from
share/xml/freebsd.ent to share/xml/authors.ent
- a.core updated and moved from share/xml/mailing-lists.ent to
share/xml/teams.ent
- share/pgpkeys/{addkey.sh|README} updated

Translations are untouched except for build fixes.

3f10b7efb2 Update the committers-guide article to reflect the Documentation 
CVS->SVN conversion:

- Remove references of 'dcvs' from the VCS Operations Guide
- Fix the date the src tree was moved from CVS->SVN while here
- Add the date the doc CVS->SVN conversion was officially complete
- Add doc-specific notes to the Subversion primer
- Document that, though the Subversion Primer is written with the src
  tree in mind, the underlying concepts are the same

184378d10f Add the Wiki SubversionPrimer entry to the Committers' Guide.

GCIN student:		Isabell Long (isabell121 gmail com)

Minor rewriting by:	gjb (myself) [1]

[1] The original task was to put this in the Developers' Handbook,
but as discussed with des, the CVS information is in the Committers'
guide; the Subversion Primer entry likely belongs here as well.

6d33c08c04 Clean up the "Administrative Details" section of committer's Guide: 
- Force column width to improve rendering.
- Remove a number of pieces of information which is either obsolete or
  just not important. This includes removing reference to using telnet
  which was already obsolete when I got a commit bit in 2003...
- Point people at freefall.
- Remove the hardcoded lists of members of cvsadm and GNATS admins -
  this just duplicated administration.html and new committers should
  not need to bug the two teams so often that they need to be pointed
  out more than the many other active administrative teams. [1]
- Point at dcvs and pcvs for CVS repo's, as those are still in use by
  developers.
- Don't use entities for internal mailing lists which expands to the
  names as the result is just confusing and not useful. This part
  should probably be changed to be a section with more text instead of
  trying to include most info inside a table.
- Add information about portmgr monthly reports.
- Add a few links to some useful internal pages with more information.
- Misc minor text cleanup.
