Svn I get, but you have code in cvs or need to connect to cvs repo's?

And along with some of the other network stuff, considering getting out of that business day 1 and using something like Heroku so you can focus your coder on coding. > DNS-BIND servers Really? Unless you have a really unique app, this is commodity. You don't want to waste programmer time configuring, locking down and maintaining in house DNS servers. > Web Services (SOAP, RPC, RSS, JSON) The only reason for someone to know SOAP on this list is (a) so they can connect with painful legacy systems (I get that could be possible in retail for inventory) or (b) so they can be thankful they use RESTful web services and don't have to deal with that stuff any more. If you want to complete the usual annoying acronym soup, you missed XML. On a separate note, if you can find a programmer who can't figure out json, run very quickly in the other direction.
