I wouldn't call myself a developer, but I have been wanting to contribute recently. I learned source control with svn, so I am much more comfortable with it. My one attempt at using git for a personal project ended in failure.
Then I discovered this guide, "Git-SVN Crash Course": http://git.or.cz/course/svn.html I hope this would be useful to other subversioners like me who might be hesistant to switch to git.
