[sorry for cross posting and spammish-like email]

 Hello community!

I would love to inform you all that we're ready to open up and roll out something it might interest you.
My company needed a dropbox like software that gives us the ability of sharing files, and rolling back to certain revisions.

We *love* open source products and we dug into the server side possibilities: Subversion was the best choice.

So we implemented a cross platform super simple subversion client (written in C++ using Qt libraries) that gives us this very experience.

It's called BBox (http://bbox.nois3lab.it) and the sources (https://github.com/bakulf/bbox) are released under BSD license.

We're using it in production environment since january and the actual version you'll find on the website is pretty stable (the Mac OS X client is a bit fat but very stable, the GNU/Linux is a .deb created for Ubuntu 10.10+, if you need it for kubuntu as of now is better to compile sources).

The reasons I'm writing to this list are a lot:

1. I thought you'd be interested in such product
2. We are willing to understand if there's something we can do to tweak our subversion server configuration in order to optimize everything
3. We have a couple of minor issue that are listed in the github repo
4. We *NEED* Windows debugger!

We're an all mac/linux company and none of us use windows in production so it would be great to have help in this direction in order to get it better and better and ready for Windows environments also.

Of course, if you like the project and you'd love to link BBox on Subversion website, we're very happy!
And as for every open source project, use it! And debug it!! :)
