Hi Jörn, The reason I was able to manage getting jQuery from SVN today was because I dug up your advice to me from last October, which kind of is a quick and dirty tutorial I suppose: http://www.nabble.com/Help-with-the-SVN-Build-Process- tf2117711.html#a6588381 I didn't really know what exactly I was doing but I was able to follow the steps you gave me. If you plan on expanding on that info I know that would help many people like myself who, despite using HTML, CSS, JS, PHP, MySql etc., still find anything to do with command line hyjinxery daunting. I believe much of the talk about the subversion repository tends to go over the heads of many of us designer-types for whom using it is not a part of our daily (or even monthly) routine. Therefore, when or if you do write the tutorial, can I ask that you please avoid assuming from your audience any knowledge of SVN/eclipse jargon such as "ant", "perspectives", "build process", "makefile", "checkout", "testing suite"... I could go on with terms that I don't fully understand, but I'm sure you get the gist. As always, thanks for your tireless work.
