Hi Bill

Yep, I do know about checking out subdirectories. It was more of a question of whether the demos are something that belong in the trunk - I totally agree that the manual/docs should.

Like I said, nothing huge but I did notice that - for example - the Lucene demo contains quite a bit of obsolete Java code that I'm not sure belongs anymore.

Thanks for the quick reply

We do need to maintain consistency between the docs and the code to which the docs apply. Keeping the docs and code in the same svn repository satisfies that. Moving docs to wiki-only would break that. Moving docs to another repository would require us to link the docs and sources together with subversion externals, and this adds complexity to the administration and management. I'm mindful that our svn administrator for Framework is also one of our developers.

You know you can check out a subdirectory of the ZF tree, right? If all you need is the library directory, then just sync with the library directory. Or you can set up your own svn server and declare whatever set of subdirectories you want, treating them each as externals.
