Summary of a IRC conversation in #zynot-infra

Hi,

with the intend to pull discussion out of IRC and further discuss the
remaining details through this list, I'm writing this summary.

     1. We need a SVN FAQ. The FAQ basically should point to existing
        documentation but give a basic intro with examples specific to
        out trees. Mark Bainter already started a subversion tutorial
        which has been ported to Tiki by Dave Thacker.

     2. We need prereleases right away. In order to give people
        something to play with we should be able to this right away.
        However, we didn't progress far enough to make official releases
        ("Unnamed Linux"). The proposed procedure is to set up the
        developer section in the repository where each developer can
        distribute his individual files. An entry in /core/README (to be
        created) should point the unaware to individual projects
        (beneath /projects and /developers).
     3. Subversion repository is up, but only a few seem to know about
        it. Developers should subscribe to zynot-submit mailing list to
        see what's going on. (I'm not sure about the status of the
        infrastructure, especially whether it's possible to mass create
        user accounts with write permissions the the repository, yet.
        Mark?)
     4. It was proposed to have another subversion repository
        (additionally to the development and IT repositories) for
        binaries (stage tarballs for example).

Comments? Questions? Suggestions?

Happy discussing,
