Could Rhizome offer CVS? I'd pay for it. Have it readable to everyone, but writable only to members.
Might be a good way of getting more art software/media projects more tied to Rhizome.
Arch or Subversion would be better than CVS.
Just a thought. I know it would be a lot of work to manage and DMCA. :-)

Rhizome CVS?

By "writable only to members" I hope you mean "writable by the user's
account and not all members"…having a CVS repository where all
modules were writable by everybody…chaos. (Properly version
controlled chaos, but chaos nonetheless.)
And while subversion might be better, there's so many CVS clients that
that's probably the best place to start.
Lest I overextend myself, I could potentially help out a bit, as I run
a small CVS repository for projects at work.

Interesting idea, Rob. Do you think this would be useful wrapped up with a bunch of SourceForge-like project-management tools, like a developer's mailing list, bug-tracking, wiki for documentation? Or would you be more just interesting in the raw CVS/Arch/Subversion service?
( And maybe to answer my own question: Personally, I can't bear Sourceforge 'cause it's slow and overburdened. But then, my project's in Ruby so I can put it on Rubyforge instead … )

I think accessibility (a la sourceforge) would be good for publicity. I
don't know about bug-tracking or lists, I don't know any of the
projects would be large-scale enough for that (is anyone working on any
*big* art/code projects?).
I've got my project approved for SourceForge now. :-)

It's less rhizomatic, but yes, this would be self-controlled rather
than world-scribblable. :-)

IIRC you can get CVS front-ends to subversion.

A good idea; I'll have to take it into consideration.
And, for what it's worth, the programmers I know who've used Subversion say it's pretty mature and usable now.
