Re: [Python-markdown-discuss] the wiki

[Yuri T. <qar...@gm...>]

I am curious if anyone else has opinions on that?

First, on Bazaar vs. SVN.  I don't personally don't have much invested
in SVN and don't care that much.  What I worry about is: will moving
to Bazaar raise the bar for other people who want to check out?  In
theory, it seems, Bazaar is specifically designed to make it easier
for new people to join in.  On the other hand, I am wondering if
people might be turned off by having to install a new VCS.

Second, any comments on Roundup and Launchpad?  Lauchpad seems to have
a nice community thing going, so if we want to switch to Bazaar this
might be a nice option.
