SVN for VisCom or Newsletter

Description (last modified by tmitchell)

For tracking the Newsletter development process we would like to use SVN. Can an SVN instance for this be set up? This is basically a VisCom effort, so it may make more sense to just have an SVN for VisCom in general, then we'll have a newsletter subsection.

I would like to see a "general" osgeo svn that has stuff like this, the website, etc rather than proliferating lots and lots of instances. They have quite a bit of administrative overhead with each one --- user permissions, backups, etc -- as well as once it's out there, we seem to have to support it forever :)

So, something like http://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo, with

  • website/
  • viscom/
  • newsletter/
  • geodata/
  • educom/

There is the potential to limit specific groups of users to different parts of the svn tree, but I've never done that in practice.

This would certainly meet our newsletter needs.

http://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo was added during the SVN migration last weekend. Any LDAP-authenticated user can currently commit to the repository.
