Karl Fogel's book about producing open source software should be a useful resource: http://producingoss.com/ The way he describes communities is pretty much how the SVN project works, which (not incidentally) is how ASF projects ought to work :-) Perhaps you can use parts of it as reading material for students. Karl is has been working on a second edition since last year. You can get his work in progress state which should be more up to date with current practices from http://producingoss.com/vc.html The first edition is from 2005, so somewhat outdated for today's students.
