Bug Description

The page cvs.html explains how to access the repository as an anonymous read-only user and as a user with write access. However, this page is onle linked to in write context. Cite:
 "Also, you can <a href="cvs.html">ask for a CVS
account</a> so that you can <a href="style.html">create your own area
here</a> which would let you upload and manage your own symbols and
footprints."

Proposal:
Add a section on how to use the website in read-only mode:

<h2>Access the repository</h2>
<p>You can access the contents of the repository in several ways
  <ul>
      <li>Browse the section of individual contributors. Click on their name on the right-hand sidebar for an index of their contributuions. Symbols and footprints are rendered on the fly for preview.</li>
     <li>Use the search bar to list all symbols and footprints that contain a keyword.</li>
     <li>Download the repository whole sale with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concurrent_Versions_System">CVS</a> to your hard disk and use PCB locally to browse its contents. See <a href="style.html">this howto</a> for instructions how to use cvs.</li>
</p>
