FWIW, I think this cheatsheet is quite good and valuable (though I
agree there is a lot of overlap with existing documentation),
especially for newcomers. Just to have a good summary / reminder of
common things you'll encounter.
We have our own quickstart page: http://subversion.apache.org/quick-start
How about:
- Putting a link at the bottom of that page (there is already a link
to the quickstart section of the book), linking to the original
webpage of the author.
or
- Incorporating (some of) the content of that cheatsheet directly on
http://subversion.apache.org/quick-start, so it's right there in front
of you ...
The latter option would be my personal preference (putting my user /
admin hat on) -- I like having short info right in front of me in the
right place -- but obviously imposes some amount of doc-maintenance
work on "us".
Maybe someone on this list would be willing to take this doc-task
(migrating the current content, and keep an eye on keeping it up to
date)?
