I think it's just been a few projects right now. I've only heard Forrest switching ATM. Hopefully, there will be no "heavy lifting" needed for a switch though--we can just give Infrastructure the word to switch and it's done. > CVS is the work horse of Open Source.

Apparently so...I checked the cvshome.org site and they even have advertisements for SVN (lower left corner) on their home page. > I am in favour of moving to Subversion at some time > in the not too > distant future. > Noted again. These endorsements do help in deciding whether to switch. 6-9 months (my previous guess) is probably too much time, but let's wait about three or four and see what happens. (It's not just SVN, maybe the new servers they have for it are clunky, etc. Time is good for these things to iron out.) If only two or three are switching, I would be leery against it. If it's half of Apache by then, let's do so. Thanks, Glen
