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
