Sounds like a good plan. I've already updated the uP3 Jira project 
renaming it to uPortal3 Sandbox and making it read-only. I'll start on 
SVN next, creating a sandbox folder and moving up3 under it.

 From the CVS sandbox what needs to be moved? The following modules 
exist: Merlin, al, gap, uP2_7_i18n, up3, userexperience, xalan

Is uP2_7_i18n the DLM2/i18n code from SCT that we should move over? Do 
any of the other modules need to be moved?
