Clearly the hierarchy should be as shallow as possible, on the other hand i always like the idea of sandboxes where each of the unorganized people can mess around on a micro-scale, while it stays macroscopically organized. Tags and branches like /tags/project/project-0.0 seem to be a good compromise. > >> Btw., where would the svn repository be located? > > i think there are currently no real objections against staying at > sourceforge (at least, i had planned to put it there; just for the > sake of all the developers already having an account there (and > knowing their passwords)) > True, sounds good. greetings, Thomas _______________________________________________ PD-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-dev
