[OPW] Introducing the 2013 Apache Subversion Intern

Hi everyone,

I am the current Gnome Outreach Program for Women intern for the
Apache Subversion project, sponsored by Elego, Berlin, Germany.

OPW is a GNOME Woman initiative that aims to inspire women to
contribute to Free Software projects.

A short introduction to my official goals for the Apache Subversion
project in this internship can be found on my blog:

I also have an Intern Desk which contains my playground where I keep
ideas and my to-do list here:

regards,

Gabriela

LOL!

(And as a guy whose sense of humor likewise encourages his wife's groaning,
I salute you.)

You might want to mention the built-in ACL/multiuser support in screen.
In general you can do things such as 'screen -r otheruser/sessionname'
and otheruser can use ^A:chacl to grant you edit permissions on the
session (but that latter thing requires screen to be setuid, and not all
platforms install it that way).

Also, "Vim can do that too" (:help clientserver) :-P

Wonderful: my female friends in computing, including my wife, have
sometimes found it difficult.

Although, there is something disturbing about the description"Gnome
Woman" initiative. It's difficult not to picture short women with red
caps and well groomed beards, one on every lawn in a suburb, mandated
by their local housing association. (My sense of humor has sometimes
been a source of despair for my wife.)

Cool. If you have any issues with getting cleanly built Subversion
packages without oddnesses of local libraries in development
environments, let me know. (I've dealt with a lot of that lately....)
