Hi Adam, Given that Apache CMS is integrated with svn pubsub (and I do not know if there is a git integration for pub sub), I would strongly advocate for website alone to be the SVN. Setting up the build locally on every one's machine will pose a high barrier of entry for others to contribute to the website. And more importantly this will take off the web book market editing which is how 90% of the quick changes are done to CMS. I will be happy to customize the instructions I put together for Airavata [1] Cheers, Suresh [1] - http://airavata.apache.org/development/edit-cms-website.html
