Regarding subversion - I just wanted to mention that we could switch to something better - and perhaps Arch would be a better choice btw. But I don't think we should do the switch right now - let's move first. :) We will also move the downloadable files and mack up some simply frontend for them, a Swiki or similar is perhaps the "simplest thing". I could take a look at this at the earliest tonight. But I will only do it if people speak up and say "Yes please!". :) No point in putting in time if we don't all agree. And of course, if someone else could spend the time I would be really grateful - I really, really need to sit down with SM instead and I have no daytime to spare. regards, Göran |
