RE: Subversion in Linux Magazine?

Re: Subversion in Linux Magazine?Martin, Ben,

if it works for you then i would really like to do this. I am going through
the process of installing svn as my repository control, and also as a
read-only repository for a major open source venture (will let everyone know
when it's done!)

I have already written CNET articles, and I am working on a book, so i do
have writing experience.

With that said, and no objections, martin, feel free to hit me up with the
details!

  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.

    Subversion has been self-hosting for over a year, and many people are
    using it. It's in the middle of a long march to Beta and 1.0, mostly
    bug fixing for the next few months. A number of folks have started
using it.

    I wrote an article about Subversion for Linux Journal last year
    (should I mention the competition?!), which is here:

      http://www.linuxjournal.com/article.php?sid=4768

    That said, I'm also busy collaborating on an O'Reilly book about
    Subversion. This pretty much marks me as "too busy to write any more
    articles."

    I think is this a *great* opportunity for someone else in our community
    to do some writing (and project promotion).

    Who's gonna do it? Step forward!
