Re: Fwd: Subversion migration schedule (cut-off Fri 18 Mar)

[Alexander Shopov <ash contact bg>]

I am sorry for cross posting,
but I am going to ask things about the SVN access by translators.

1. Subversion is a definite upgrade and easiest thing to use for a CVS 
user - so first, I would like for the nice upgrade.

2. Will there be a new organization of the modules?
  - Are all the modules going to use a single repository? (I am not 
generally for, but some modules do belong together)
  - Will there be a change in the permissions we all have? (I do think 
that the system has worked up very nicely up till now, and no further 
restrictions on write access will be necessary).
  - In KDE's SVN repo - all po-files have been taken in separate 
directories. I am strongly against this practice as it discourages 
translators to look at the source code.

3. Will there be an alternative to plain http anonymous access? Proxy 
server - sucha as SQUID still do no support the whole plethora of WebDAV 
protocol commands and a checkout is impossible when behind a proxy (one 
could get things with wget - but the result is not a working copy).
