    Hi all,

    Over at our Campsite project, Paul Baranowski has moved the Campsite CVS
    to Subversion, and has also implemented the Trac bug tracking system.

    You can see the nice results by visiting this URL:
    http://code.campware.org/projects/campsite/

    We're also thinking of doing the same with LiveSupport, even before 1.0,
    but before doing anything like that, I wanted to ask you for your input.

    Here's what I can think of that would change:
    - The release process page would have to change to reference Subversion
    instead of CVS.
    - The Campsite info page on LiveSupport would have to change its link
    - Developers would have to learn Subversion commands and quirks instead of
    CVS

    The payoff is that people interested in the project will get a much better
    view of its vitality. I especially like the 'Timeline' view in Trac, which
    shows the number of open vs. resolved tickets, and calculates progress in
    percentage.

    Paul will handle the migration to SVN, so your workloads wouldn't change
    substantially.


    Looking forward to your feedback,


    doug
