The only question in my mind was whether to have a non-recursive check out of the root with all modules and fill only brlcad/trunk or just brlcad/trunk. > If there are other files / folders, that will just raise questions. Okay, agree. > Is the ova checkout just part of the image Yes, and I'll hide it--it's just to help synch and set up the ova. It's only for developers.

I get your drift, good ideas. In addition to default vi and gedit have already included editors: xemacs and jEdit. I am thinking of including an environment like the Eclipse C/C++ IDE or NetBeans. Of course I will install the latest cmake. What do you or other devs think, any suggestions, deletions, additions?
