Subversion? Windows? *shutter* I hope these petitions don't succeed... there
are far more pressing things for Android devs to be focusing on.

Having said that, it would be nice to see someone take on the project of
setting up a good quality Windows toolchain, and maybe a guide for
subversion users on how to use repo (perhaps the existing docs aren't
comprehensive enough?) - contributing in this way would be far more valuable

Hi,

I work with Android more then 1 year and found several issues that
will be good to change.

As one person I can not influence on Google Android Team that is why
I'm asking everyone about taking part in my petitions.
Android Community have successful petition before - result of which is
presence on "developer phone" for Android Community.

My reasons are simple: I trust in Android, I like it and I want to
make it better. So please spent 2 minutes of your time and sign
petitions if you found them close to your hart.

========= PETITION #1 =========
Change Android hosting from GIT to Subversion:
http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/android-svn/

Reasons are:
- Subversion is also Free and Open Source;
- Subversion has much better and usable GUI for all OSs;
- Subversion supports all features required for proper version
controlling and collaboration of large teams;
- Subversion has integration with all IDEs that can be used for
development of Android applications/modules;
- Subversion has many web UIs for code reviewing, tracking changes,
bug tracking, etc. And they are more advanced comparing to GitWeb
solution;

========= PETITION #2 =========
Please provide proper support for Windows OS:
http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/android-win/

Reasons are:
- Linux and MacOS only two major platforms and ignoring of the third
major platform - Windows, is a big mistake on my mind;
- Windows developers also wants to take great part in developing of
Android internals; providing Android build support only for Linux and
MacOS only makes "curve" of involvement into Android development very
low;
- Windows support will increase community size greatly;

more details about supported platforms can be extracted from

Thanks
