well, if you would show up now and then on the channel
we might have taken a different approach ... but I
guess although the various aspects might not be perfect,
IMHO the direction is generally good ...
at least I prefer this over a dozen different branches
done by everybody and his dog ...

very likely, we do not know the details of the tools
as you do .. so we have to do some guessing ...
anyway, I hope that you will participate and steer
this into the right direction ...

we do not think so either ... hmm, KDE finally moved
to svn ... well anyways it was just that Sam said it
would be easy to have the OSSF svn account and as he
did all the work, it was a logical choice ...

basically that it is an enrico only hosting, and that
we do not want to turn it into an all-world devel
place ...

well, this isn't intended to replace the savannah (i.e.
your) development branch, the idea is to have a breeding
ground for various changes, kind of idea pool, where
you can skim the useful stuff very easily ...
if you have a better solution for that, please let us
know, we are easily convinced by good arguments ;)
