OK, the repository is more-or-less set up, now waiting for someone to
use it. You can check it out in all its empty glory:
svn co svn://w4py.org
I don't know what we'll put in there. Thoughts? The only contents are
a document which outlines how the repository can be used (still open
for discussion, of course). I don't think you need a user account
until you try to check something in. Feel free to ask for one -- I
think we can treat this somewhat like the sandbox. (Should we move the
sandbox into this?) The user account process is entirely manual,
including setting passwords and the sort, but is separate from Unix
user accounts.
Subversion is very easy to pick up if you have CVS experience. In my
own experience, it is comfortable but feels quite slick and polished in
comparison to CVS (despite Subversion's young age). And who needs arch
if we give out promiscuous user accounts? (Well, that might cause
problems, but I think we should deal with any problems when they come
up and not worry about them now)
