Title: top moz
Guys,

can we think of existing users and use something that doesn't  build up a huge learning curve for them? My opinion is still that SVN is probably the most painless replacement for CVS, regardless of what's everybody's pet VCS ? I would hate to see lots of existing projects go just  because they can't understand the new version control system.

If hovercraft is so complex that there is only one person capable of making changes then it may better to look into replacing it with something that can be maintained and improved by mere mortals.

Is the source to hovercraft available? Surely there is someone besides Doug ( and Pete?) that is capable of maintaining a complex php project. Never having seen the code and not knowing how mozdev is setup I'm not sure but since lxr is not available (broken for many years now) I just assume hovercraft is close to unmanagable.

Historically Mozdev has mirrored the tools mozilla.org uses.

Which makes the most sense since the purpose of Mozdev is Mozilla based development.



But this is a community site, now, and if the community wants to use something different from Mozilla, so be it. However, I doubt there is anyone (except Doug, who isn't working for mozdev.org anymore) who has the technical expertise to "swap out" CVS for SVN/git/something else. So all this talk of switching is just great, but even if we come to consensus, I'm betting nothing will happen. It will take a PHP developer a very long time to come learn the mozdev.org internals enough such that he/she can "swap out" CVS.
