Hi Niclas, You mentioned on a different email thread that, if we don't use Confluence, we'll need to put our documentation in SVN. Pivot was originally hosted on java.net, where we stored our docs in a Subversion repositiory. Since the docs contain working applets, we also had to store our JARs in SVN - this became a problem because the JARs, as binaries, weren't managed efficiently by SVN. Each revision created a new copy and we blew through disk space really quickly.
One of the reasons we moved our web hosting to Yahoo Small Business was to help work around this issue. Yahoo provides FTP access to the web server - we were hoping that the Incubator might provide something similar. Is this possible?
