Re: Subversion migration.

[Christian Fredrik Kalager Schaller <uraeus linuxrising org>]

Yo,
I agree that we need to resolve this in a timely manner, but if people
are willing to step up to the plate and do a test migration of GNOME CVS
to Arch or monotone I think we should let them do so and then have a one
month period where these repositories are available for testing.

If we after that have a consensus that Arch or monotone is the a nice
way to work we can migrate to one of those systems.

On the other hand if no-one steps up to the plate (say within a month
from today) and help out doing the test migration, then we should go
with the 'conservative' path of going to subversion. This should also be
the path chosen if no clear consensus can be found after testing Arch
and Monotone.

I think such an approach gives a fair chance to arch and monotone
enthusiasts to make enthusiasts of the rest of us too, while the time
limits makes sure we do not end with another unresolvable debate.
