Looking to hire Software Engineers to Help Develop Subversion

[This is a one-off and we will not post this again on this list]

Following the announcement<http://www.wandisco.com/php/pr.php?rss=0&prdate=2010-12-20>by
WANdisco yesterday that we would undertake the work to fix / improve
branching and merging in Subversion; we are on the lookout for new
Subversion developers to complement our existing team. If you (or someone
you know) have what it takes feel free to email me or careers {a.t}
 WAndisco . com. We are looking to hire a large number of new developers.
Also, contact us if you would just like to donate some of your own time.

I would also say that this work will be completed both *for* and as *part of
* the *community*. I have tried to answer questions surrounding this on my
blog<http://blogs.wandisco.com/2010/12/20/shaking-up-subversion-by-listening-to-the-user-community-and-then-committing-to-do-the-work/>.
Any questions or concerns feel free to email me directly.

Highlights of the proposed improvements include:

   - Enhanced Subversion merge performance, with features such as allowing
   users to take all of the changes committed on one branch and replay them on
   another
   - Subversion rename tracking to eliminate tree conflicts during merges
   when file names change
   - Improve correctness of 'SVN blame - g' to make it possible to follow
   complete merge history and trace authors of merged code
   - Improve 'SVN import' to better manage branches.
   - Make Authz architecture more granular similar to Unix filesystem
   permissions.
   - Repository-dictated configuration.
