It is:
-rw-rw-r--    1 amantia  kdewebde     6801 Mar  3 03:03 xml.dcl

so it's group writable...
But remember, that this mail referred to the /var/lib/cvs, the list with 
problem directories under /home/kdewebdev is in the other mail I sent 
today to the list.

It's enough if public_html is group writable. Just make sure you don't 
forget the g+s, otherwise if someone created a subdirectory it won't 
belong to the kdewebdev group. This is a problem both in /var/lib/cvs 
and in /home.

I don't mind if some areas are not group writable, just we need to know 
what and where can we commit and where can we upload. And where we (any 
of us) can commit and upload should have the correct permissions, so we 
don't stay in someone other's way.
