Lieven

If you decide to post to svn@, I think the reason it was not working
is because that mailing list will not accept emails unless it comes
from an address associated with a tigris account.  I do not think we
would want to change that, so we'd have to get a tigris ID setup for
this email address.

+1 on switching these emails to svn@s.t.o since we already receive commit
related emails there, and I feel these are one such emails, which of course all
devs look at.

Fair enough.

I'll switch it to svn@s.t.o in a couple days if nobody has further input.

Hm, why should we restrict the scope of svn@s.t.o to the code repo
only? I'd use it for all automated commit emails.

Commit messages of our source code can be easily made part of a
developer discussion too, by replying and putting svn-dev as target
list. Point is that responding to those commit mails is optional,
whereas a mail to dev is supposed to start a discussion.

Anyway, if I'm alone with this pov I'll set up a mail filter.

The overrides we do to the tigris links hides stuff and breaks other
links like for the discussion moderation.  The Subclipse project uses
the default tigris features if you want to see what is available:

Had no idea where it was (since it isn't linked from anywhere). Thx.

And yah... there are a glom of reasons for liking the svnhelp.g.c route...

I expect you know this already and just do not care for the other
reasons you listed.  But when tigris was upgraded last year it added
Wiki to the tools available to projects.

Crap gets lost. Mail is good for discussion. Not taking notes or
maintaining a to-do list.

Kinda hard to use a wiki if nobody knows about it (Blair's or the one built in).

I have no idea.

If it was up to me, I'd cut and run like we did with leaving history
behind in CVS. Could also do some kind of data migration, I guess. Or
not use it.

Sure. But I'll also point out that a simple script can PUT a download
onto Google Code without filing a ticket, and have that file end up at
a URL such as:
  http://svnhelp.googlecode.com/files/subversion-1.6.1.tar.gz2

Statistics, labels, auto-SHA1 sigs, etc, come with that.

If Blair does not mind, maybe we should move that content to the Wiki on tigris?

Why not just use the mailing list?

I don't see the point of creating another wiki for users.
There already is one, and it's not being used much:
http://www.orcaware.com/svn/wiki/Main_Page

> an awesome user-friendly issue-tracker,

So how will this issue tracker integrate with our tigris.org issue tracker?
I don't want us to be managing issue numbers in two different namespaces.

> and a fab download site.

We could provide more discoverable links on svn.tigris.org/getting.html
for the latest version of any tigris archives.

Meta:
Talking with Hyrum, I skipped sending these commit messages to
svn@s.t.o per his thinking "that mailing list is for commits to the
code". I've pointed the edits here (dev@), since I believe the
messages are part of our developer discussion. Your thoughts are
welcome.

Concrete:
I wanted to start a wiki space for coordinating and documenting
various aspects of wc-ng. I'm happy to add any devs to the svnhelp
project to help edit pages.

Back-to-meta:
I created this project on Google Code to help cordinate the wc-ng
effort, but also in the hope of providing a focal point for a
user-to-user wiki, an awesome user-friendly issue-tracker, and a fab
download site. I can take the project in several directions, based on
community response:
1) "sounds good". action: add people to the project and link to it
from appropriate places.
2) "bleh". action: keep it semi-private for dev efforts and redirect
people away.
3) ???
