DIA brochures - SVN setup for new SFU Team members?

[Alistair Jones]

Hi Vicki!

There are many other different client applications like Versions that
can connect to a SVN server to access our Fluid repository.  I'm
thinking it would be better to find the Windows-friendly version of
"Versions".  I think it might be a hassle to be committing files under
one account.  And keeping our accounts separate will keep everyone's
own names on the files, and that's always a plus.

On the "Subversion for Fluid designers" page, someone has thought to
include a recommendation for Windows users.  It is SmartSVN
(http://www.syntevo.com/smartsvn/index.html)

So I would go with that one!  Personally, I dont know too much about
that one, but in principle it will work similarly to Versions, with
the idea of "checking out" a "repository" and "updates" to retrieve
and refresh files, while doing "commit" to contribute changes to the
files in a repository.

If you download SmartSVN and it seems familiar to you, then great!
But if not, I would be happy to check it out myself and write up a
quick tutorial.  Also, I'm willing to believe that there are many
experienced SmartSVN users here on the list who can help you out.

Some other things that could help you:
http://wiki.fluidproject.org/display/fluid/Subversion+for+Fluid+designers,
and James's email, titled "Central Fluid design repository proposal (+
"what's svn?" for designers)"


Ok I hope that helps. Let me know how it goes!  If anyone has any
suggestions, feel free to add them!

Alistair

This lead to the conclusion that we should probably set up a generic account "SFU TEAM" for the mac on campus.  This way Leila, the new Vicki, or any one working on campus could upload to SVN regardless.
