Re: Subversion in Linux Magazine?

Ben, et al.

I read the Linux Journal article and thought that piece presented a good
rationale and roadmap of Subversion.

What I would like to see in Linux Magazine is a hands-on tutorial on how to
deploy and use Subversion.

If there are no takers, I will suggest the topic to our Compile Time
columnist. Compile Time is all about developing code on Linux, and a
hands-on tutorial is very appropriate for that column. A hands-on guide
would also differentiate our piece from the LJ piece.
