This would mean that every developer needs write access onto
the webserver. This is a lot of work to administrate (you need
to track all developers and make sure their systems were never
compromised) and even more to keep secure.
I rather recomend a system that does build the pdfs automagicaly
from the svn repo instead of letting the developers handle it.
Here's my plan (I can't execute it right away, and I may need reminding):
(1) Provide with the docs a README.latex that explains LaTeX, what
packages people should use for various platforms, instructions, etc.,
and lists the (current) location of the PDFs.
(2) Provide a Makefile that will generate one or all (by default) of
the PDFs from all of the known .tex files. As we add documents, we
can update the Makefile.
(3) Run a cron somewhere (even my own computer) that daily polls the
.tex files and uploads any changed ones to a directory on
traversaltech.com.
I will probably need help with some of these.
