Committing works fine now, as a test I've already updated the css file, 
so its again fixed size.

This is about CVS uploading, to be clear. And as of now, the uploaded 
changes will not be visible on kdewebdev.org, so you need to have a 
local test-bench to see what you've done. There are some issues on the 
server which prevents uploading. Right now if we don't want to mess up 
the whole site, should let only Eric to upload. The problem consists in 
the permissions of the files and directories, mainly that you cannot 
update a file that was created by someone else, yet you can upload new 
files. I already sent some suggestions to Eric. I agree with him that 
the real upload is critical and we must be careful. But I think we 
should have a backup person or a script which could do Eric's job if he 
doesn't have time. Like updating the site from CVS every 24 hours. ;-)
Or directly upload to a test place (so everybody can see live the CVS 
changes) and update the main site every 24 hours. Just some ideas.
