But, speaking of SVN, several people are buzzing about "Trac". http://www.edgewall.com/trac/ Trac brings the SCM and Project Management together by integrating SVN with a Wiki and bug database. Blastwave is playing with this, we may be implementing it at Genunix soon. I'm hoping to have some spare time this weekend to fire it up at home because it may be a doc writers dream come true.
