I am interested in writing a web-based tool to help administer a
Subversion installation, and would certainly want it to be useful for
people running large installations like yours. But I've only used
Subversion in a small group so far: ten developers, all having the
same privileges in a single repository. What would be some of the
requirements for such a tool used in a larger setup? Your suggestion
that project managers should be able to administer their own groups
is exactly the kind of thing I'd want to know. Any other ideas like
that?
