The dev team is moving the Legacy project development from sourceforge.jp to the new repository at sourceforge.net (international).
This page explains how to use CVS. A minimum of CVS knowledge is required, read please the following Wikipedia CVS.
CVS notification mail 
You can receive the notification by the special Mailing List, when developers commit update source code to CVS. The notification is written diff and comment in poor English. This ML is useful for you to notice the movement of the core development team.
Now, there is only one Mailing List for XOOPS Cube Lagacy (aka Package_Legacy). If more base module project is happen, another Mailing List will be prepared.
To start receiving the notification, you have to register your mail address in Mailing List subscription page. You may write your mail address, your password and your confirm password into the following text-box. If you prefer, you can specify your prefering language other than English.
- CVS Notification Mailing Lists subscription page
After then, you may receive the confirm mail in Japanese. If you receive that mail, please click URL.
In addition, comments in files isn't fine but include some useful informations. Logs of CVS and these comments make it easy to understand changes.
Checkout through snapshot archive
The snapshot is the latest archive of the specific branch. It is maked by timer automatically. You can download it from here. This is the most easist way to get the latest CVS version. However, you have to pay attention about that the timer makes it. The archive that you think as the latest version may includes old files before 4 hours.

The simplest means to take a part in XOOPS Cube activity is that you always trace the update of the 2.1 branch and report the bugs or the impression.
